I develop an empirical phenomenological methodology that employs 2D/3D graphic reconstruction to study the spatial, temporal, and affective organization of transcendental experiences such as Out-of-Body and Near-Death Experiences. This research aims to link the subjective structures of experience with scientific models of perception and embodiment within a neurophenomenological framework.

Within the context of neuroarts, I am interested in how visual and spatial formalization can function as both an epistemic and creative process, transforming first-person experiential data into shared visual representations that contribute to the study of consciousness. My work proposes that artistic modeling can serve as a form of analytic reasoning, capable of revealing how perception and selfhood are structured through space and time.

Through this interdisciplinary approach, I hope to contribute to the community’s broader effort to integrate aesthetic, neuroscientific, and phenomenological methods for understanding the lived dimensions of cognition.
