TL;DR: It is suggested that AHs arise from an interaction between abnormal neural activation patterns that produce salient auditory signals and top-down mechanisms that include signal detection errors, executive and inhibition deficits, a tapestry of expectations and memories, and state characteristics that influence how these experiences are interpreted.

TL;DR: Examination of the effect of childhood trauma on hallucination-proneness and the influence of dissociative symptoms on a cognitive process believed to underlie hallucinatory experiences concluded that dissociation, however, does not affect reality discrimination.

TL;DR: Experiential sampling research in individuals with mental illness: reflections and guidance.

TL;DR: This review will examine the presentation of auditory hallucinations across the life span, as well as in various clinical groups, including childhood, adolescence, adult non-clinical populations, hypnagogic/hypnopompic experiences, high schizotypal traits, schizophrenia, substance induced AVH, AVH in epilepsy, and AVh in the elderly.

TL;DR: Ambulatory monitoring of symptoms several times daily using smartphone software applications represents a feasible and valid way of assessing psychotic phenomena for research and clinical management purposes.
