Fractured Reality: The Mind's Darkest Disorders pt. 2

August 25, 2026 · 1 h 14 min

Show notes

In this episode of Fringe Beyond Limits, the hosts explore bizarre, real neurological disorders that fracture perception and identity. From alien hand syndrome and Lilliputian hallucinations to Charles Bonnet syndrome, Anton's syndrome, and foreign accent syndrome, listeners hear vivid stories and scientific explanations showing how the brain constructs — and sometimes distorts — reality.

Through patient cases, history, and listener reactions, the episode asks unsettling questions about consciousness, identity, and how fragile our experience of the world truly is.
