Tactile hallucination is the false perception of tactile sensory input that creates a hallucinatory sensation of physical contact with an imaginary object. [1] It is caused by the faulty integration of the tactile sensory neural signals generated in the spinal cord and the thalamus and sent to the primary somatosensory cortex (SI) and secondary ...

[12] Withdrawal seizures: seizures occur within 48 hours of alcohol cessation and occur either as a single generalized tonic-clonic seizure or as a brief episode of multiple seizures. [14]
Usually, psychiatric diagnostics is carried out orally. Thus, the question about schizophrenia in prelingually deaf persons rises. Only few reports exist. A review points out that acoustic hallucinations of normal hearing schizophrenic people correspond to visual and tactile hallucinations of prelingually deaf persons.
Sensory deprivation or perceptual isolation [1] is the deliberate reduction or removal of stimuli from one or more of the senses. Simple devices such as blindfolds or hoods and earmuffs can cut off sight and hearing, while more complex devices can also cut off the sense of smell, touch, taste, thermoception (heat-sense), and the ability to know which way is down.
