Discover 'hallucinations' in daydreaming people

Research by Yale scientists has shown that daydreamers often use their own illusory beliefs to explain what they see.

New studies have shown that people who are "daydreaming" are more likely to differentiate between feelings and perceptions. They often rely on unrealistic, unrealistic thoughts to help the spirit of being more excited and explaining what they see. Typical hallucinations include idiotic, unfounded, paranoid or hypnotic thoughts about themselves.

The neurologist Phil Corlett of Yale University in New Haven, Connecticut said that, according to traditional thinking, many dreamer tend to develop, using illusion to predict events that happen in life. These illusions often appear and override the sensory evidence.

To test this idea, German and Swedish researchers conducted experiments on neurological behavior and outcomes in healthy but "day-to-day" people.

In an experiment, the volunteers had to answer questions designed to measure illusory beliefs. These questions are: Do you ever feel as if people are reading your mind? Have you ever felt insecure when you were worried that your husband / wife might be unfaithful? . The results showed that illusory individuals have less stable awareness, they often change ideas compared to ordinary people.

In the second experiment, volunteers were asked to wear the glasses and observe how the dots appeared on the screen in the direction. For those who are delusional, they assume that the glass has changed their vision, the dots clearly do not rotate in a fixed direction. This indicates, delusional people use their own illusory beliefs to explain what they see.

The third experiment was conducted similarly to the second test but the scientists scanned the brains of volunteers. Brain scans show that when these people are tricked into dots turning in different directions, their brains encode illusions and direct dots to move in that way.

Scientist Corlett said: "The study offers an explanation of the relationship between beliefs, perceptions, and why people with delusion suffer from failure." However, these studies will still be further explored by scientists.
