RIP J.M.S. Pearce, the British researcher who coined the phrase "exploding head syndrome" and did some of the foundational work on the syndrome. I had the pleasure of emailing him a few times about this topic and he was always very open and kind. #sleep #parasomnia #Psychology #neurology

The famous weighing scales used to test witches in Oudewater (The Netherlands). The emperor made these the only "approved" scales for such a service way back in 1545. I now have an official document proving I'm not a witch. :) #witch #psychology #folklore
