By provoking people to rewire their own brains, he hopes to help patients strengthen certain healthy connections and erase other less desirable ones.

Hallucinations may actually be caused by folds in the brain
Imagine hearing a voice that screams, “You’re no good at this and
you’re going to fail every exam” but not knowing where it came from. Or
suddenly seeing a poisonous snake slithering towards you. Even if you’ve
never had a hallucination – a sensory event that is experienced as
real, despite having no material world cause – it’s easy to imagine how
frightening they can be.
Despite advances in brain imaging technology, we still have a limited understanding of the biological processes behind hallucinations. But new research has discovered that a key region of the brain, the paracingulate sulcus, may underlie the experience. This delivers a glimmer of insight into why some people are more likely to hallucinate and provides a neural target for treatments that aim to tackle such terrifying experiences.
When someone has a hallucination, the basic problem is that they fail to distinguish between real events and those created by the imagination. As a result, hallucinations have been described as an impairment in “reality
monitoring”.
