About
Lucas Burget is a neuroscientist whose research focuses on the early neuropsychiatric symptoms of Parkinson’s disease, particularly minor hallucinations and their neural underpinnings. His major contributions center on characterizing presence hallucinations—the unsettling sensation of someone nearby when no one is there—as a key early marker of cognitive decline in Parkinson’s. In his highly cited 2025 paper, Burget demonstrated that these minor hallucinations are linked to fronto-temporal disconnection, revealing how subtle perceptual disturbances reflect broader network dysfunction before more severe psychosis emerges. This work has garnered significant attention, with over 2 citations in a short time, underscoring its impact on the field. By bridging phenomenology and neuroimaging, Burget has helped redefine how clinicians and researchers understand the progression from minor to structured visual hallucinations, offering new targets for early intervention. His findings are shaping diagnostic criteria and therapeutic strategies for Parkinson’s disease psychosis, making him a leading voice in the study of non-motor symptoms.
