Six feet over: Out-of-body experiences and their relevance to the folk psychology of souls
Behavioral and Brain Sciences 29 (5):479 (2006)
Abstract
During an out-of-body experience (OBE), one sees the world and one's own body from an extracorporeal visuospatial perspective. OBEs reflect disturbances in brain systems dedicated to multisensory integration and self-processing. However, they have traditionally been interpreted as providing evidence for a soul that can depart the body after death. This mystical view is consistent with Bering's proposal that psychological immortality is the cognitive default.Other Versions
