Lateralised headaches have followed the use of mobile ‘phones, perhaps due to activation of muscle spindles by magnetic fields, from internal hardware and from radio frequency signals. Symmetrical headaches have followed the use…

Exploration of ‘hallucinations’.
apperception, autism, cancellation signals, corollary discharge, first-person singular pronouns, From sensation to cognition, hallucinations, illusion, magic, mind’s ear, mind’s eye, occult, perception, Psychology of Music C E Seashore 1938, psychosis, schizophrenia, supernatural, talismanic, thought broadcasting, thought echo, thought insertionVisual hallucinations are due to activation of visual memory circuits by diffuse toxicity. The auditory hallucinations of schizophrenia are not perceptions without stimuli, they are apperceptions without responses, specifically the corollary discharges that normally indicate apperceptive ownership of one’s responses to perception: apperception minus corollary discharge equals perception. Arousal that has been inhibited during childhood…
