About
Herberto Dhanis is a pioneering researcher at the intersection of neuroscience and robotics, whose work has fundamentally reshaped our understanding of hallucinations and consciousness. His primary research areas include thought insertion, presence hallucinations, and the neural mechanisms underlying psychotic disorders, particularly in Parkinson’s disease. Dhanis’s major contribution is the development of a robotics-based method that can controllably induce and assess hallucinations in real time, allowing for unprecedented experimental investigation of these elusive phenomena. His 2020 paper on thought consciousness and source monitoring (20 citations) established a novel framework for studying how sensorimotor conflicts give rise to illusory states. His 2022 work on neuroscience robotics for controlled hallucination induction (18 citations) and his 2021 study on robotically-induced hallucination triggering brain network transitions (10 citations) have been highly influential. Dhanis has also made significant clinical contributions, demonstrating that presence hallucinations during locomotion are early markers of disease progression in Parkinson’s patients (7 citations). His most recent work (2024–2025) combines real-time fMRI neurofeedback with robotic hallucination induction, opening new avenues for therapeutic intervention. With a growing citation impact and a uniquely interdisciplinary approach, Dhanis is at the forefront of translating robotic technology into profound insights about the human mind.
