    Area of Science:

    • Neuroscience
    • Psychiatry
    • Communication Studies

    Background:

    • Development of a communication system for nonverbal, quadriplegic, institutionalized residents.
    • Initial goal was to improve interaction and quality of life for this population.

    Observation:

    • Unexpected discovery of a high prevalence of auditory hallucinations among residents.
    • Hallucinations were not the primary focus of the initial study.

    Findings:

    • Nine cases of auditory hallucinations are presented.
    • A consistent characteristic of the "voices" is the issuance of authoritarian commands.
    • Residents feel compelled to obey these commands, influencing their behavior.

    Implications:

    • Potential link between the developed communication system and the emergence or reporting of hallucinations.
    • Exploration of the phenomenon in relation to Julian Jaynes's theoretical work.
    • Understanding the profound impact of these auditory experiences on the residents' daily lives and well-being.
