Dr Ben Alderson-Day and the Feeling That Someone Is Behind You

In this episode, Professor Rory O’Connor and Craig spoke to associate professor in psychology at Durham University, Dr Ben Alderson-Day.

Ben’s research is broadly focused on mental health and neurodiversity. His current research is about “felt presence”, the sensation that someone is present without any sensory cues.

In this conversation, they discussed presence, the research behind hallucinations, and the fourth man phenomenon.
