What Really Happens When You Float Above Your Bed _feat_ Michael Kopf_

The floating. The ceiling view. The shadow at the foot of the bed. Science says it's your brain glitching. My guest Michael says he's felt it firsthand. Tonight we find out where the neuroscience ends and the unexplainable begins.Your soul isn't leaving your body while you sleep — but your brain is definitely losing track of it. In this episode, I sit down with my friend Michael to talk about his firsthand experiences with out-of-body sensations, and the "shadow person" phenomenon — then break down the real neuroscience behind it, including a landmark experiment where researchers recreated the floating, ceiling-view sensation using nothing but electrical stimulation to a specific part of the brain.
