"This blog will cover lucid dreaming, psychosis, schizophrenia, paranormal and metaphysical experiences, as well as the placebo and nocebo effects, hypnosis and psychogenic illness. It is a wide range of sub-topics but they all involve the illusion of sensory perception in the absence of external stimulus or the physiological manifestations of mental perception that is shaped by suggestion. In other words, at work is a faulty or highly fluid interaction between an individual’s internal mental world and the external world." Looking forward to it!
