Dear colleagues,
I’d like to share a conceptual hypothesis based on first-person neurophysiological observations across 1,000 reproducible events, termed Spontaneous Neuroelectrical Cascades (SNCs).
These are wave-like, self-initiated neuroelectrical events that propagate throughout the body under full awareness, sometimes triggered by subtle modulation of intracranial pressure (ICP). Physiological markers include mild tremors, sweating, salivation, and a sensation of electrical flow.
I hypothesize that the SNC may represent a macro-scale form of “volume transmission” — an electrical wave that propagates through neural and cerebrospinal tissue beyond direct synaptic connections, potentially serving as a self-regulatory reset mechanism of the nervous system.
Questions for discussion:
- Could such a phenomenon fit within existing models of non-synaptic or volume-based transmission?
- Which experimental methods (EEG, MEG, NIRS, CSF ion flux studies) could best capture large-scale field coherence during such events?
- Are there known analogs of self-initiated, non-pathological neuroelectrical cascades in current literature?

Any theoretical or methodological feedback would be greatly appreciated.
