In this episode, Shaimond interviews Vicky Hamilton, a PhD candidate performing research on Charles Bonnet Syndrome (CBS) at Griffith University, Queensland College of Art and Design in Brisbane, Australia. Hamilton shares her journey with CBS. Utilizing art and digital technology, Hamilton's research focuses on recreating the visions experienced by those with CBS, aiming for a broader understanding and awareness of the condition. The podcast explores the historical interpretation of hallucinations and the potential connections between personal experiences and hallucinations. Hamilton's research aims to create a digital and interactive exhibition to simulate CBS visions, fostering empathy and understanding among the general public and the medical community.
