The novel combination of deep neural network architectures and a computational neurophenomenological approach provides a powerful approach toward closing the loop between hallucinatory experiences and their underlying neurocomputational mechanisms (10/10)

Our results highlight the phenomenological diversity of VHs associated with distinct causal factors and demonstrate how a neural network model of visual phenomenology can successfully capture the distinctive visual characteristics of hallucinatory experience. (9/n)

In both studies, we found that the relevant synthetic VHs were rated as being most representative of each group’s hallucinatory experience, compared to other synthetic VHs produced by the model. (8/n)

Both studies first verified that the three phenomenological dimensions usefully distinguished the different kinds of hallucination, and then asked whether the appropriate synthetic VHs were able to capture specific aspects of hallucinatory phenomenology for each aetiology. (7/n)

We verified the validity of this approach experimentally in two separate studies that investigated variations in hallucinatory experience in neurological-CBS patients and people with recent psychedelic experience. (6/n)
