In this talk by Therme Art, industry experts discuss how architecture and design can be utilised to create spaces that better our mental wellbeing.

Scientists are developing a "brain stress test" for evaluating the mental status of patients with Parkinson's disease. It involves awakening the "ghosts" hidden in specific networks of the brain to predict the onset of hallucinations.

About half of those who have the disorder have 'presence hallucinations,' in which they perceive a dark presence nearby. Scientists have developed a method for reawakening the 'ghosts' hidden in the minds of Parkinson's patients to assess their mental health

Scientists have discovered a frontal-temporal disconnection which could explain why people with Parkinson's believe they can see ghosts. Around half of people suffering with the disease experience 'presence hallucinations' which causes them to sense a shadowy presence nearby. The spontaneous nature of the event has made the phenomena hard to study. Scientists have discovered a frontal-temporal disconnection which could explain why people with Parkinson's believe they can see ghosts PARKINSON'S DISEASE EXPLAINED  Parkinson's disease affects one in 500 people, including about 145,000 individua...

Provoked Hallucinations Successfully Predict Severity in Parkinson’s Disease Sensitivity to sensorimotor dissonance in provoking presence hallucinations can predict cognitive decline in patients with Parkinson's Disease. April 29, 2021 A new study has identified a neural network in the brain responsible for hallucinations and reports a new robotic diagnostic tool that captures sensory and motor processing through brain imaging to determine the severity of the progression of the disease by safely provoking such hallucinations in Parkinson’s Disease (PD) patients. Scientists at the ...
