Alucinaciones - Spanish Edition
Author: Oliver Sacks

No vemos con los ojos, sino con el cerebro; de ahi que muchas veces veamos cosas que no estan delante de nosotros, cosas que llamamos apariciones, fantasmas o visiones, conceptos que obedecen al termino generico de «alucinaciones». Pero las alucinaciones no son solo visuales. Como nos explica Oliver Sacks, las alucinaciones tambien pueden ser ol... more »fativas o auditivas. Cuantas veces hemos «oido» que alguien nos llamaba y al volvernos no habia nadie; o hemos experimentado un olor cuya presencia es fisicamente imposible; o hemos creido que alguien nos seguia; o hemos «visto» algo que la razon nos dice que no pertenece a nuestro mundo. Asociadas en la mentalidad popular con la locura, las alucinaciones obedecen muchas veces a un simple problema neurologico con nombre y apellido, y tienen mas que ver con la privacion sensorial, la ebriedad, la enfermedad o algun tipo de lesion. Quienes padecen migranas pueden ver arcos de luz o figuras liliputienses. La gente que pierde la vista puede compensar su carencia con un rico mundo visual alucinatorio, e incluso el simple hecho de dormirnos o despertarnos puede causar que el mundo onirico y el real se fusionen en una imagineria imposible. Gran parte de nuestra fantasia popular y nuestro folklore se basa en las alucinaciones, sin las cuales no podemos comprender figuras como los angeles, las brujas y los alienigenas, ni tampoco algunas obras de autores tan conocidos como Dostoievski, Evelyn Waugh, August Strindberg o Amy Tan, victimas todos ellos de alucinaciones en algun momento de su vida. / We dont see with our eyes, we see with our mind; thats why we often see things that arent actually there, things that we sometimes call apparitions, ghosts or visions and which we file under the generic term, hallucinations. But hallucinations arent only visual. As Oliver Sacks explains in his new and fascinating book, hallucinations can be olfactory or auditory. How many times have we heard someone calling our names and, on turning around, found no one there? Or detected a familiar smell whose presence was impossible? Or had the feeling that someone was following us? Or seen something that our reason tells us could not possible exist in our world? Associated in popular thought with madness, hallucinations are often caused by a simple, medically defined neurological problem, having more to do with sensory depravation, inebriation, illness or injury.
