## TL;DR

This paper explores the hallucinations in schizophrenia through quantum mechanics, proposing a model where percepts evolve in a Hilbert space, suggesting potential ways to modulate consciousness and brain states.

## Contribution

It introduces a novel quantum mechanical framework to explain hallucinations and consciousness modulation in schizophrenia, linking percept evolution to Hilbert space dynamics.

## Key findings

- Hallucinations modeled as time evolution of percept basis states
- Proposes a quantum approach to consciousness and brain modulation
- Predicts potential induction of consciousness in unconscious brains

## Abstract

Schizophrenic patients suffer from hallucination which its causality is not yet fully understood. This paper attempts to approach this mystery from the perspective of quantum mechanical theories. A novel approach has been adopted to demonstrate the hallucination as a time evolution of percepts basis states in the Hilbertian consciousness which are desynchronised from the time in real world. The method also extends his approach to predict mind and brain modulation through the correlation and coupling of consciousness and it reaches a clinically hypothetical outcome of inducing consciousness into a brain which is not conscious.
