> Migraine can even drive full-blown visual hallucinations similar to the ‘reflections of the living light’ painted by Hildegard von Bingen, a twelfth-century abbess who was thought to have experienced a condition that is now called migraine with aura.
I don't think the aura effects are usually considered hallucinations?
I get mild migraines sometimes, with hardly noticeable headache, but with aura. In a way, it's pretty cool. You can directly perceive the abnormal brain activity and how it develops in real time. (I get the classic zigzag lines wandering across the field of vision.)
