    Nicolas Fraisse OBE with verified hits?

    This morning I cam across this person. There is not enough information about it on the Internet because its all French but they claim that this person was working on OBE experiments and had a very successful career claiming that have even hits. Here is a text on the skeptiko forum which was...

    Merged A new argument pro Near Death Experiences

    I have a new argument pro NDE's: According to current neuroscience many parts of the brain are involved in the experience of the tunnel, the light, the peaceful feeling, the words 'it's not your time yet' etcetera. The verbal cortex, the occipital lobes etc. All must be involved. Chances are...

    Has Dr Sam Parnia's study on near-death experiences been published yet?

    I've been searching around for it, and all indications were it was to be published late-2011, but haven't been able to find it, or any news articles discussing the results. I find the premise to be deeply interesting and am rather bummed that I can't seem to find it.

    How to have an out of body experience?

    For about the last 6 months I've been interested in alternate states of consciousnesses, in particular out of body experiences (OBEs). Admittedly my interest in such a strange phenomenon stems mainly from my boredom, but I do feel OBEs are a challenging meditation exercise and could be a...

    Scientific take on "out-of-body experience" related vibrations?

    I've been curious about something for a while, and it's only recently occured to me that I might ask someone. :boggled: People who report having so-called out-of-body experiences tend to report a feeling of their body vibrating at the onset of the experience, accompanied with sounds that range...

    Bad --> How Many Skeptics Have Had OBEs?

    This is a sincere post by a committed skeptic. I have had some weird stuff happen in my life--many involving migraine, some involving night terrors, and some involving chemicals I will swear to my kid I never took--but I've never had an out-of-body experience. I've always thought they sounded...

    A final Theory about the real cause for OBEs

    So I've been studying the phenomena of Out of Body Experiences for quite a few years and I've experienced a couple. I am of course entirely skeptical of the "Out of Body" explanation, since all of my OBEs have had the basic qualities of a Lucid Dream (meaning, the room I see is not exactly my...

    The truth about out of body experiences and the like.

    Hello to all the people at the James Randi Educational Foundation! : ) I am not a skeptic at heart but I do want to thank you for pointing out and exposing those who deceive others, you all play an important role in today’s world. Now, that acknowledgement aside, I have a problem and it goes...

    out of Body Experiences - Rational Explanation?

    Electric Shocks to the Brain Can Cause Out-of-Body Experiences By Sandra Blakeslee of the New York Times (sorry, I would post the URL but I am not an old enough poster yet!) They are eerie sensations, more common than one might think: A man describes feeling a shadowy figure standing behind...

    OBE Experiences

    Does anyone have any information on the topic of "out of body experiences"? It's unfortunate for me, and a good reason for sites like this, that the first 3 people I asked about my experiences all agreed it was out of body. These are people I trusted too. So, suffice to say that I have the...

    Out of Body Experiences?

    OK. I'm new to this forum, so if this has already been done, I'll be pleased to delete it and vanish without trace. But here is my conundrum. I was having an argument with someone about Out of Body experiences, and they copied a HUGE list of sources and "evidence". I was wondering if somebody...

    Monroe Institute

    http://www.monroeinstitute.org/ I'd like to get some opinions on this establishment. The Monroe Institute was founded in 1972 by the late Robert Monroe who wrote 3 books about his "OBEs". The Institute runs all these programs where they claim to be able to teach astral travel, remote viewing...

    OBE study in works

    http://story.news.yahoo.com/news?tmpl=story&cid=570&ncid=753&e=1&u=/nm/20030910/sc_nm/science_death_dc I wonder if the guy setting up the OBE study has too much buy-in to run the experiment objectively. I also wonder if someone working in one of the emergency rooms will cheat; put the cards in...
