A hallucination is a perception in the absence of external stimuli, where an individual experiences something that seems real but is not actually present. This phenomenon can manifest through any of the senses, such as seeing objects or hearing sounds that do not exist. Hallucinations challenge our understanding of reality and perception, particularly in relation to different theories of perception and the problems posed by perceptual illusions.
