<p>In this episode of the Charles Bonnet Syndrome Podcast, host Shaimond is joined by Dr. Marta Wnuczko, an experimental psychologist and professor at Humber Polytechnic. They discuss Dr. Wnuczko's research on how both sighted and blind individuals perceive and navigate their environments, and delve into the topic of hallucinations, including those experienced in Charles Bonnet Syndrome (CBS). Dr. Wnuczko shares her personal experiences with her great-grandmother, who exhibited symptoms of CBS, and provides insights into the nature of hallucinations, the importance of awareness, and coping strategies. The conversation also touches on her research methodologies, the balance between teaching and research, and the need to cultivate a curiosity-driven, positive approach to perception and human behavior.</p><p>Contact Dr. Marta at [email protected]</p><p>Contact me at [email protected] </p><p>For help with CBS call 1-704-389-0160 </p><p>For a link to attend Dr. Gary Cusick’s U.S.-based weekly virtual CBS support group and CBS caregivers support group email Dr. Cusick at <a href="mailto:[email protected]" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">[email protected]</a> </p><p>For support or resources for CBS in the U.S., please visit https://marycarmelslight.com or https://www.charlesbonnet.com or email [email protected]</p><p>For support or resources for CBS in the UK, please visit https://www.charlesbonnetsyndrome.uk or email [email protected].</p><p>For support or resources for CBS in Australia, please visit https://www.charlesbonnetsyndrome.org or email [email protected] </p><p>The Charles Bonnet Syndrome Podcast Merchandise</p><p>https://cbsyndromepodcast.com/merchandise </p><p><a href="https://the-charles-bonnet-synd.captivate.fm/donate">Donate</a> </p>
