October 12, 2016 Although commonly associated with psychiatric disorders, healthy people can also have visual hallucinations after taking drugs, being sleep deprived or suffering migraines. Credit: Shutterstock A new method for inducing, modelling and measuring visual hallucinations in healthy individuals suggests these complex experiences share a common underlying mechanism with normal visual perception, UNSW researchers say. Although commonly associated with psychiatric disorders, healthy people can also have visual hallucinations after taking drugs, being sleep deprived or suffering migraines. These involuntary experiences are thought to arise when spontaneous changes in the brain temporarily hijack visual function, but the exact causes and underlying mechanisms aren't fully understood. "We have known for more than 100 years that flickering light can cause almost anyone to experience a hallucination," says UNSW Associate Professor Joel Pearson from the School of Psychology. "However, the unpredictability, complexity and personal nature of these hallucinations make them difficult to measure scientifically," he says. The content of these visions – including colours and forms that appear and how they move around – are constantly changing over time and are inherently subjective. "Previous studies have typically relied on drawings and verbal descriptions, but these don't provide us with a way to precisely identify the mechanisms in our brain that cause hallucinations," says Pearson. One of the grand challenges in the field has been inducing hallucinations in the lab that are stable and identical for all people. Now, thanks to Pearson and his team, this is possible. It means they can scientifically measure the strength of hallucinations without relying on subjective descriptions. Using a flickering white light against a black backdrop, the UNSW team was able to induce visual hallucinations in a number of healthy volunteers, causing them to 'see' pale grey blobs. It is recommended that anyone with a history of migraines, epilepsy or psychiatric disorders refrain from watching the video below. You should see pale grey blobs appear in the ring and rotate around it, first in one direction and then the other. "With our technique we get rid of the unpredictability. People don't see windmills, lines, or different colours; they just hallucinate grey blobs. Once the hallucination is stable like this, with just the blobs, we can start to objectively investigate the underlying mechanisms," says Pearson. "Nobody has been able to do this before, because they haven't been able to overcome this key challenge. Understanding how Parkinson’s patients experience visual mental imagery is providing hope that their uncontrolled hallucinations can be treated. Credit: defeatparkinsons.com Using new techniques, they were able to measure the strength of the hallucinations, and pinpoint that the hallucinations were arising inside the visual cortex – the region of the brain that processes visual information and allows us to see. "The induced hallucinations also seem to obey many of the same laws and properties as normal visual perception," says Pearson. The team's results are published today in the journal eLife and comes as Australia marks Mental Health Week. Pearson says the next step is to investigate whether the experimental methods can be used to model hallucinations produced by psychiatric disorders. The team has begun working with people with Parkinson's disease. "Not everyone who gets Parkinson's has hallucinations," says Pearson. "If we can use these models to study their hallucinations, we can find out what might be causing them, and hopefully learn more about other symptoms that accompany natural hallucinogenic states." Healthy volunteers reported seeing pale grey blobs appear in the ring and rotate around it, first in one direction and then the other. Credit: Joel Pearson "It will help inform us about what is happening pathologically in the brain during hallucinations, and ultimately help us develop new treatments." "As we mark Mental Health Week, this study highlights the urgent importance of translational science for understanding and developing new treatments for mental health. "The World Economic Forum has predicted mental health care will cost around six trillion a year by 2030, so we urgently need new methods and laboratory models to understand mental illness," says Pearson. Flickering lights and a pale grey blob – how the scientists induced and measured hallucinations The volunteers were university students with no history of migraines or psychiatric disorders. The students watched an image of a plain white ring flicker on and off up to around 130 times per second against a black background. To measure the hallucinations, the team placed a second ring marked with permanent grey blobs inside the white ring. By stating whether the hallucinated blobs were lighter or darker than the real blobs, the participants were able to communicate how strong the hallucination was.

To measure the hallucinations, the team placed a second ring marked with permanent grey blobs inside the white ring. By stating whether the hallucinated blobs were lighter or darker than the real blobs, the participants were able to communicate how strong the hallucination was. Using behavioural science techniques, the team was able to demonstrate that the hallucinations were arising inside the visual cortex, without the need for MRI scans. They did this by showing volunteers two flickering-lights – one for each eye, displayed out of synchrony. These lights were flashing about 2.5 times per second – a relatively slow rate, which normally doesn't induce strong hallucinations, explains Pearson. But the volunteers were experiencing hallucinations consistent with lights flashing about 5 times per second. "They were combining the signals from the two eyes. This really only happens in the visual cortex, not in the eye, or other initial processing areas of the brain," says Pearson. Working with mathematicians from the University of Pittsburgh, the team developed neural models of the visual cortex to try to understand what was happening. Pearson likens these models to the vibrational phenomena known as cymatics, where sound frequencies can be seen pushing sand grains into geometric patterns. "Rather than a metal plate and sand, we're talking about the visual cortex, where we see these reverberating, self-organising patterns of activity. We think this could be how the brain is creating the hallucination, and it might also help to explain normal consciousness, and our experience of what's happening around us every day."

Hi there! Today I found another double storey home. This one is for a normal residential block, but it’s pretty big with 5 bedrooms and 4 bathrooms. Click on the image to see it larger. The reason I like this one is for the double frontage. I like homes which…
Have you ever had anything to cheer about with your preschoolers? Each spring I like to have my Little People make Name Cheer books. These are accordian-type books that the kids make which have a page for each letter of their name. (I originally got this idea from a Mailbox magazine.) Once the kids make their book and practice a bit, they take turns standing up in front of the class with pompoms and leading the class in their Name Cheer, with the "audience" cheering the each letter back: "Give me a B!" (B!) "Give me an O" (O!) "Give me a B!" (B!) "What does that spell?" (Bob!). They love it, and it helps everyone involved with recognizing and naming letters, not to mention helping the cheer leaders learn how to spell their own names. However, what they love even more is using and getting to keep their own pom poms. Last year I just borrowed a coteacher's pom poms for Name Cheers, but this year I wanted to let everyone take a pom pom home so they could do their cheer for their family. So I decided to make some. After searching on Pinterest I found this Pom Pom tutorial: Source: marthastewart.com via Julie on Pinterest I basically followed the instructions from the link above, and found the directions very easy to follow. Therefore, I will just point you to that link for the basic pom pom steps instead of trying to replicate what is already well-explained. I will say that I seriously overestimated the amount of tissue paper that I needed for 25 pom poms. To keep you from doing the same, I will tell you that it worked out that it took approximately one standard sheet of tissue paper for each pompom. However, since I used more than one color on each pom pom, I cut several different-colored sheets of tissue paper at a time and mixed up the colors as I went to make multi-colored pom poms. Like this: One difference that I made from the original tutorial was that I did not wrap my cut tissue paper strips around a dowel. I made this switch largely for cost purposes, but also because the combination of Little People and dowels in my mind just makes me think of poking. And who needs poking with the Little People? Instead of a dowel I used toilet paper rolls. One roll was too short of a handle, so I put two rolls together. Fold one of the toilet paper rolls in in half lengthwise (like a hot dog). Place the folded tube inside the non-folded one a few inches. Then fold the unfolded one so that the folds line up with the already-folded inside tube: (I know, there are a lot of "folds" in that sentence - sorry.) Hold them together tightly and wrap well with masking tape. This will become your handle onto which you tape the tissue paper. Using this as a handle, follow the instructions in the link as Martha suggests. When I was done, I had a wonderful pile of pom poms for the Little People. As a side note, I also made one pom pom out of my favorite new material, plastic tablecloths. While it turned out cute, I still decided that tissue paper was the most cost-efficient choice for the large quantity I was making. When all of our Name Cheer books were made, I put them all on our bulletin board with the available pom poms. After the kids practiced saying the letters in their name, they got to choose the pom pom that they wanted and used it to lead their Name Cheer in front of the class. Then they got to take the book and pom pom home and (hopefully) do their Name Cheer for their family. Making the pom poms is definitely something that I would do again. It was easy, inexpensive, cute, and highly popular with the Little People. Definitely a keeper.
