Editing Hallucination (section)

=== Multimodal ===
A hallucination involving [[Stimulus modality|sensory modalities]] is called multimodal, analogous to unimodal hallucinations which have only one sensory modality. The multiple sensory modalities can occur at the same time (simultaneously) or with a delay (serial), be related or unrelated to each other, and be consistent with reality (congruent) or not (incongruent).<ref name=":0" /><ref name=":1" /> For example, a person talking in a hallucination would be congruent with reality, but a cat talking would not be.

Multimodal hallucinations are correlated to poorer mental health outcomes, and are often experienced as feeling more real.<ref name=":0" />
