One 23-year-old man in the PET study regularly saw vivid scenes–in living color and full motion-of rolling, disembodied heads that ordered him around. To spy on what the brain was doing during such hallucinations, the researchers had six patients take turns lying in the PET scanner, where they were told to relax and close their eyes....
