This year's biennial joint International Consortium on Hallucination Research (ICHR) and Early Career Hallucination Research (ECHR) Group meeting will take place on October 19-21 2026 in Munich, Germany. The theme, Models of Hallucinations, will include presentations from our keynote speakers, symposia presenters, and working group discussions focused on theoretical, computational, and neurobiological models of hallucinations, their developmental and clinical trajectories across the lifespan, and implications for treatment prediction and intervention.
We look forward to seeing everyone in Munich soon!
