Quotes Tagged "musical-hallucinations"

Given her deafness, the auditory part of the brain, deprived of its usual input, had started to generate a spontaneous activity of its own, and this took the form of musical hallucinations, mostly musical memories from her earlier life.

— Oliver Sacks Musicophilia: Tales of Music and the Brain
