Over the past year, I have documented a rare, reproducible phenomenon called the Spontaneous Neuroelectrical Cascade (SNC) — a self-initiated, non-pathological electrical event that propagates through the body while full consciousness remains.
Each cascade starts from the top of the head and spreads down the spine and limbs within seconds, accompanied by mild muscle co-contraction and heightened awareness afterward. It can be voluntarily triggered through controlled intracranial pressure (ICP) modulation.
I propose that this might represent a macro-scale systemic bioelectrical cascade — a global form of volume transmission or bioelectric field coherence that links the CNS and PNS.
Questions for discussion:
Could synchronized EEG–EMG recording detect such whole-body field propagation?
Are there existing volume transmission or neural field models that allow for systemic (not just local) field coupling?
Could this mechanism relate to theories like the GlymphoVasomotor Field (GVF) model (2025)?

Hello everyone,
I would like to share a rare neurophysiological phenomenon I have experienced and documented over 1,000 times. I call it Spontaneous Neuroelectrical Cascade (SNC).
It is reproducible, has distinct physiological markers (muscle tremors, sweating, shifts in intracranial pressure sensation), and can even be consciously triggered.
Here is the open-access case report with details:

I am curious if others in this community have encountered similar events under different terminology, or could suggest relevant literature or methods for further study.
Thank you for your time and feedback!

Thank you for approving my post.
To clarify a few points: the Spontaneous Neuroelectrical Cascade (SNC) phenomenon is reproducible, and I have consistently observed specific physiological markers such as synchronized tremor bursts, transient sweating, and distinct intracranial pressure sensations without loss of consciousness.
I am particularly interested in whether similar transient neuroelectrical events have been observed in controlled EEG or fNIRS recordings — possibly as high-frequency transient bursts or phase-locked activity across cortical and autonomic regions.
Any references, datasets, or comparable observations from other researchers would be deeply appreciated.

Hi everyone,
I’ve been documenting a reproducible neuroelectrical phenomenon called Spontaneous Neuroelectrical Cascade (SNC) — observed over 1,000 times under conscious control.
Each event involves a wave-like neuroelectrical surge across the body, often triggered by voluntary intracranial pressure (ICP) modulation through controlled breathing and facial–neck muscle tension.
The experience is non-pathological, conscious, and often followed by stress relief and autonomic responses (salivation, sweating, warmth).
To support open discussion, I’ve published three open-access reports on OSF:

I’d love to hear feedback from researchers working on autonomic regulation, EEG dynamics, or neural self-modulation — particularly regarding possible recording methods (EEG, fNIRS, EMG).
Thanks,

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?

I’d like to clarify that I am based in Vietnam. English is not my first language, so I use ChatGPT to help me describe and translate my neurophysiological observations as accurately as possible.
The Spontaneous Neuroelectrical Cascade (SNC) phenomenon is based on my own firsthand self-observations, not on any clinical experiments. I am open to sharing more details or even meeting virtually (via Zoom or Google Meet) if verification or clarification is needed.
If a meeting or discussion is arranged in the future, I would prefer to have a bilingual interpreter (English–Vietnamese) to ensure accurate communication of my observations.
My only goal is to document and understand this natural event with transparency and respect for scientific principles.
