DESCRIPTION:Benjamin Alderson-Day\nThere is growing appreciation that felt
  presence (FP)  - the sensation that someone is there without any percept
 ual evidence – is an under-recognised feature of psychosis. Well known i
 n neurology and neuropsychology\, FP and similar experiences have a plausi
 ble basis in bodily self awareness and its disruptions. But how confident 
 can we be that such explanations apply to the presences of psychosis and s
 chizophrenia? And are we looking for one presence\, or many? In this talk\
 , I will summarise recent work on FP from Durham University’s Hearing t
 he Voice project\, a 10 year interdisciplinary investigation of hearing v
 oices (or auditory verbal hallucinations). I will argue that body-based ac
 counts of FP are likely necessary but not sufficient to explain the variet
 ies of felt presence documented in psychosis\, and elsewhere.
