Highlights
The International Consortium on Hallucination Research (ICHR), which held its inaugural meeting in London in 2011, represents a new approach to the study of hallucinations which posits that close collaborations between experts with different pockets of knowledge can considerably enhance our understanding of this fascinating and multifaceted aspect of human experience
The articles in this special supplement of Schizophrenia Bulletin comprise the reports of 11 working groups who worked on different domains of investigation relating to hallucinations, each summarizing the available knowledge, gaps in their respective fields, and ideas for future research directions
We were mindful of trying to cover important perspectives such as that of the Hearing Voices Movement, as well as new initiatives that had emerged since the first ICHR meeting, including the development of National Institute of Mental Health (NIMH) Research Domain Criteria (RDoC) for hallucinations
