Psychosensory disturbances are brief, intense, and repetitive phenomena, which result in a distorted perception through five senses. For those affected by this condition, signals conveyed by the senses may not be correctly transmitted to the brain. As human perception can be directed at the inner world or the outer world, this project focuses on the process by which sensory organs explore the outside world and transmit information to the brain, visualising it and intervening in one or more of the transmission processes to simulate the world of patients with disorders.

Unlike general perceptual disorders, psychosensory disturbances involve a more complex dysfunction: the sensations generated by various sensory organs, which should combine to create a cohesive mental experience, instead fail to integrate effectively. This disrupts perception, leading to a distorted understanding of one’s surroundings. For those affected by this condition, perceiving the world as others do becomes an impossibility, as the typical pathways for integrating sensory information have been compromised. This inability to process and unify sensory data underlies the sense of disconnection and disorientation experienced by those with perceptual integration disorders, placing them in an unknown and fragmented sensory reality.
