Manage episode 492737894 series 3528525
In this episode of the Charles Bonnet Syndrome Podcast, host Shaimond is joined by Dr. Marta Wnuczko, an experimental psychologist and professor at Humber Polytechnic. They discuss Dr. Wnuczko's research on how both sighted and blind individuals perceive and navigate their environments, and delve into the topic of hallucinations, including those experienced in Charles Bonnet Syndrome (CBS). Dr. Wnuczko shares her personal experiences with her great-grandmother, who exhibited symptoms of CBS, and provides insights into the nature of hallucinations, the importance of awareness, and coping strategies. The conversation also touches on her research methodologies, the balance between teaching and research, and the need to cultivate a curiosity-driven, positive approach to perception and human behavior.
