>Two homogeneous subgroups of patients were defined based on the hallucination spatial location: patients with only outer space hallucinations (N = 12) and patients with only inner space hallucinations (N = 15). Between-group differences were then assessed using 2 complementary brain morphometry approaches: voxel-based morphometry and sulcus-based morphometry. Convergent anatomical differences were detected between the patient subgroups in the right temporoparietal junction (rTPJ).
That's for you specifically, but in the general case, it is not always easy to know if the voice came from a real person or not, right?
If the source of the Voice is your own brain then I assume the things it tells you are based on your own life experiences, is that right? Has the Voice ever given you any insights on a problem you are working on? Like for example things come to some people in a dream, so I assume the Voice can give you new insights too? Does the Voice usually only say things on certain topics, or category of topics? Or can it be on any topic, just like dreams?
No, I don't "hear it using my ears" in the conventional sense. So I've spoken to other people who hear voices in my podcast about Bipolar condition (let me know if you want a link). The voices often have a definite physical location, even though they are not there. One person told me it was like two people behind them in the queue for a movie. She would overhear them behind her. Another person told me it would sound like was coming from the apartment above. Again sounded very real.
For me its like in the right lower abdomen. It emanates from there.
Because of this I never confuse with a person.
