Scientists simulate out-of-body experiences

Virtual-reality experiments give subjects that disembodied feeling

New virtual-reality experiments show the brain can be tricked into believing it's outside the body, lending credence to the strange claims of some patients and shedding light on how the brain might generate its "self-image."

“We have decades of intense research on visual perception, but not very much yet on body perception," said Henrik Ehrsson of University College London.

"But that may change, now virtual reality offers a way to manipulate full-body perception more systematically and probe out-of-body experiences,” said Olaf Blanke, a Swiss Federal Institute of Technology neuroscientist.

The researchers worked on separate studies, which are detailed Thursday in the online edition of the journal Science.

2. How do them scientists know that the blue I see is the same as the blue they see?

How do we know for sure that our entire reality isn't a computer simulation?

Just asking. Shame they can't answer.
