Out of the body sensations are slowly being explained at the level of brain area function. This is not a near-to-death explanation. Those experiences are very different. But the following study is fascinating:

> Are you referring to Bernard Haisch? His book "The God Theory", 2006 uses quantum complimentarity and "posits the existence of an infinite timeless consciousness that, in religious terms, can be called 'One God'" In fact, God and we are the same.-No: research done by a USAF doctor that recreated OOB's for pilots in training scenarios. The explanation provided is scientific, that our brains are always creating a model of the world around us, and when its processing moves out of alignment with the information it receives, humans receive a perceptual experience that stops being a 1:1 relationship with their surroundings. -I should take more care in how I use the term "explanation." I wouldn't consider Haisch's exposition to be an explanation in the strictest sense of the word. It communicates some level of finality that cannot exist in metaphysics.
