Neuroscience researcher at Pompeu Fabra University (Barcelona, Spain) | Altered states of consciousness, sleep transitions, EEG & micro-phenomenology 👩‍🔬🧠💤https://bsky.app/profile/tecferrer.bsky.socialhttps://bsky.app/profile/tecferrer.bsky.social/post/3melav2s5ck2jOur last article is finally published! 🔬🧠 We found that unusual bodily experiences (including out-of-body experiences) can be facilitated in a laboratory setting, and they seem to appear during mixed wake-sleep states.

Many people who experience sleep paralysis report seeing him: a dark, shadowy figure with a big hat, silently watching from the corner of the room. I was briefly mentioned in a Daily Mail article about this phenomenon: https://www.dailymail.co.uk/sciencetech/article-15084597/Who-Hat-Man-reveal-truth-ghost-like-entity.html15 Sep 2025 10:59 +0000at://did:plc:ri2tkduff3pc2fmmru55a5nt/app.bsky.feed.post/3lyunmqiytc2yhttps://bsky.app/profile/tecferrer.bsky.social/post/3lxkpqzif722iSome fresh news!! Yesterday I defended my PhD thesis on "Electrophysiology and neurophenomenology of intermediate states of consciousness between wakefulness and sleep"🥳 Here’s a pic of a short text I shared on LinkedIn:29 Aug 2025 18:45 +0000at://did:plc:ri2tkduff3pc2fmmru55a5nt/app.bsky.feed.post/3lxkpqzif722ihttps://bsky.app/profile/tecferrer.bsky.social/post/3lun3pqm3oc23Happy to have collaborated with Paula Ábalos on this amazing project combining art and science!
