Hypnotically Induced Hallucinations Shape Perception
Oksana Sivkovich Fagin, Ph.D.
Negative color aftereffects normally occur following prolonged observation of colored surfaces and are generally attributed to sensory adaptation. In other words, if you are looking at red color for long enough, and then look away to a neutral surface (e.g. a white wall), you will see green. We describe evidence that this aftereffect, no different from those that occur when actually viewing red, are perceived in the complete absence of a colored stimulus by highly suggestible persons who are hypnotized and hallucinate seeing red.
