Who's There? The Felt Presence Effect from a Scientific Perspective

Do you know the feeling that someone is nearby, even though they aren’t? What does that sensation mean? When and why does this kind of “sense of presence” occur? Sensations that lie beyond our five senses have long occupied the minds of philosophers and scientists. In her audiobook, psychologist Ben Alderson-Day attempts to understand one of the most unusual experiences known to humankind and thoroughly explores this phenomenon. The book is based on the latest achievements of modern psychology, psychiatry, and neuroscience, as well as on the results of research conducted by the scientist herself and her colleagues. You’ll meet travelers, researchers of Antarctica, mediums, monk-runners, extreme athletes, and many others who have encountered similar experiences.
