From the reading: Seeing What Isn't There

When did you last hallucinate? Francis Galton, the Victorian psychologist, argued that sane people see things far more often than anyone admits. About one in ten of us will, at some point, hear a voice that seems to come from outside but is generated entirely within. People who lose their sight late in life frequently see vivid scenes, such as cloaked strangers or glittering cities, that are simply not there.
