Charles Bonnet syndrome

And jumping a little bit into there, when people, hopefully, or if you haven't, go and watch our interviews with Professor Harry McConnell.

We were talking about something there called Charles Bonnet Syndrome.

And what that was, it goes right back to the war days.

I don't know when, so I won't call it.

Like you totally can wear these glasses long enough.

until your body adjusts and of course if babies were wearing those glasses from the time they were born they would have no problem right like the brain would see up as up even though it would be different in the sense that it's going in their eyes differently than yours like people who are and are not wearing the glasses which is which is pretty wild to think about your brain is not recording reality it's building a version of that reality that is useful for survival Paper also points to some patients who have conditions like Charles Bonnet syndrome, who can hallucinate objects that are not there.

In one case, there was a woman who kept reaching out, trying to grab a hallucinated vase of flowers.

But when her fingers touched nothing, the vase vanished.
