I believe the vestibular system, discovered in 1824 by Flourens, is responsible for schizophrenia. It is true that deaf people can still hear voices. The human balance system is located in the same organ as cochlea in the bony labyrinth. I believe that it is activity in the balance system connected to the sub conscious and a sort of lucid state from which you hear voices that cause voices. This all came to me when I observed activity with lucid interests were making me dizzy. Why was I dizzy? I wasn't physically moving? So from here I set out to explain gravity and the subconscious and how they relate.

The use of elastic or rubber as a diaphragm in a microphone, invented 1894 by Edison, maybe a gravity sensitive enough material to record activity in the inner ear. This combined with techniques of voluntary ear whistling and voice creating may help people with lucid problems. It may be possible to record and broadcast dreams, perhaps by recording the inner ear while sleeping and playing it through a powerful amplifier and out a speaker mixing it with white noise from a radio or tv nearby. Or perhaps the dream recordings could be interpreted by their symbology by a computer program like voice recognition software to recognize them.

Ear whistling I believe is the shaping of a atmospheric sea of space that is silent and runs through the vestiibular and causes a whistling in the cochlea. I believe this sound is communacable but frowned upon in the early understanding of it because its naturally related to stress and can trigger people. It happens in your own ear while flexing facial muscles eating or yawning because your manipulating the ear canal. Anyways I've observed this type of whistling for about a year now when I first started doing it voluntarily. The strange thing is the sound communicates between people in the same room but when recorded in the ear, is almost totally silent. This is my theory that if you play the amplified silence of the recording very loud through a speaker in a vacuum jar, that the whistling might come purely out of the jar. Also listening back for the whistling on the computer with headphones is totally a breeding ground for hallucinating and going crazy. It's like sticking yourr head in a jet fan and listening for a tv in the other room.

I'm sorry to disappoint you, but it isn't...

The idea that all schizophrenics can hear auditory "voices" is a profound misconception of schizophrenia.

[chris]

Most people with schizophrenia experience hallucinations, which can take on a range of forms. Voices are a very common manifestation.

We published this very compelling documentary about schizophrenia, how it presents and new approaches to managing it. The piece was made for Mosaic at the Wellcome Trust. Well worth a listen:

And, just to be clear, it's "schizophrenics", rather than "schizophreniacs" !

Corrected... Thanks!
