http://media.caltech.edu/press_releases/13401-This is a subject in which I am extremely interested, but not for the first time I find myself in need of help. The question raised by many religions is whether a person's identity - which I would regard as being inseparable from his/her consciousness - can exist independently of the physical brain. If consciousness resides within a person's electromagnetic field, will this shed any light on such phenomena as OBEs, NDEs, and other apparently extrasensory phenomena? I would be most grateful for a plain explanation of the significance of this new approach.
