The Neurobiological Basis of Paranormal Myths

This horror lecture is dedicated to the neurobiology of sleep paralysis, phantom pain, aura vision, near-death experiences, and other phenomena that underlie unusual sensations often attributed to paranormal nature. Where do demons come from in our dreams? Who can see aura? Why does a soldier who has had his leg amputated continue to feel pain? How is it possible for doppelgangers to exist? What is a near-death experience? And how to protect ourselves from monsters that come to us in dreams and in reality?

These topics will be covered by Alexander Panchin, a candidate of biological sciences and science popularizer, in a lecture that will take place in Almaty on June 14 at 8:00 pm in the Smart Point, located at Baizakov str., 280.

The lecture will be held in Russian.
