Virtual Out of Body Experience
August 27th, 2007Science claim to have found a way to induce an Out of Body experience, using virtual reality headsets. An article being published in journal Science, an experiments carried out on healthy subjects appear to indicate the feeling of a second body. The world-wide media have spread this news and it looks like most people will have already made up their mind on the subject. It’s not conclusive in any form, but interesting none the less.
From what I’ve understood on the experiments, it clearly shows that OBE like feelings can be induced. But is this new? Certainly not. Many scientists have used various techniques to induce second body feelings. In my opinion it’s great that work is still being done and studies being published to the mainstream. I can’t wait to read the full article and see what other make of it.
At the end of the day, it looks like many, if not all, OBE’s are happing only in the mind. I’m not convinced the human spirit can actually leave the body. But I’m fascinated that the human brain can produce such imagination.
I’m still waiting for some real evidence of any actual verifiable out of body experience– can anyone provide details of one? I’ll not hold my breath.
