From the page: "Science has just published two short papers where researchers induced a touch sensation that that seemed to be felt in a 'fake' body that appeared to be several metres in front - similar to an 'out-of-body-experience'."

I picked this site up on Obnox' pages..I have had out-of-the-body experiences but only at night and only just as I'm going to sleep. I'm not so sure they're real. However, this is a great article and I am interested enough to keep reading..

From the page: "Sit at a table with a friend at your side. Put one hand on your knee, out of sight under the table. Your friends job is to tap, touch, and stoke your hidden hand and with identical movements using her other hand to tap the top of the table directly above. Do this for a couple of minutes. It helps if you concentrate on the table where your friend is touching, and it's important you don't get hints of how your friend is touching your hidden hand. The more irregular the pattern and the better synchronized the movements on your hand and on the table, the greater the chance this will work for you. About 50% of people begin to feel as if the tapping sensation is arising from the table, where they can see the tapping happening before their very eyes. If you're lucky, the simultaneous touching and visual input have led the table to be incorporated into your body image."

This is quite weird to read. Personally i have had out-of-body experiences, but they have always been in the dark. So in my case it was the sence of iso a mind-trick between what you see and what you feel. Interesting tho.
