brain activity during remote information access
... Objective: The question of the independence of consciousness from brain activity can be explored during the Out of Body Experience (OBE). Several tests of veridical perception during OBE have already been performed since the late 1960's. However, they raise some methodological concerns. The project ...

Out-of-body experience
An out-of-body experience (OBE or sometimes OOBE) is an experience that typically involves floating outside one's body and, in some cases, perceiving one's physical body from a place outside one's body (autoscopy).The term out-of-body experience was introduced in 1943 by George N. M. Tyrrell in his book Apparitions, and was adopted by researchers such as Celia Green and Robert Monroe as an alternative to belief-centric labels such as ""astral projection"", ""soul travel"", or ""spirit walking"". OBEs can be induced by brain traumas, sensory deprivation, near-death experiences, dissociative and psychedelic drugs, dehydration, sleep, and electrical stimulation of the brain, among others. It can also be deliberately induced by some. One in ten people have an OBE once, or more commonly, several times in their life.Neuroscientists and psychologists regard OBEs as dissociative experiences arising from different psychological and neurological factors.
