This feeling is connected to memory formation and the fading out and fading in of action potentials aka neuronal spikes. Little research so far.

I'm certain it's strongly connected to dopamine and serotonin (of fucking course) circuits and global receptor states and depending on intensity of the sensation and level of awareness of person probably linked to schizophrenia, paranoia and other fun stuff.

I can't remember the name of the study but I believe it was posted here on HN a short while ago. If anyone is in the mood or has it stored in memory or bookmarks, please provide. Thanks!
