- Susan Blackmore is also one of the more outspoken proponents of the view
- that
- oobe's result from events in brain physiology, i.e. aberrations in the
- functioning of the visual cortex and in memory. Despite her own oobe, she
- has written a number of papers against the "parapsychological" view, i.e.,
- against the view that "something" leaves the body. Not being that
- knowledgeable about brain physiology I can't really evaluate her arguments.
- There are a number of medically-trained near-death-experience researchers
- who still hold that "something" leaves the body and, in the case of
- near-death-experiences, has an existence independent of the physical body.
-
- Anyone care to comment?
