The voices that hallucinating people claim to hear are almost always of males, the Munich-based medical newspaper Aerztliche Praxis (Medical Practice) reported.
Citing studies by researchers at the University of Sheffield in Britain, the report said that the reason for this phenomenon may lie in the different qualities of sound characteristic of male and female voices.
The sound of female voices was more complex, the researchers noted, and therefore perhaps harder for the brain to imitate. – Sapa-DPA
