A certain spot in the brain shows increased activity during out-of-body experiences, Belgian researchers report.
That part of the brain is where the angular gyrus, a brain region involved in self-awareness, meets the supramarginal gyrus, a brain area that affects the body's spatial orientation.
The Belgian scientists studied a 63-year-old man who had had an electrode implanted in his brain to treat tinnitus, in which people experience ringing or other unusual sounds in their ears.
The implant was supposed to use electrical stimulation to suppress tinnitus. But that didn't work. Besides still having tinnitus, the man had out-of-body experiences during the electrical stimulation.
"His perception of disembodiment always involved a location about 50 cm behind his body and off to the left," write the scientists. He didn't have near-death experiences and he couldn't "see" himself from outside his body, which lasted for an average of 17 seconds.
The scientists noticed a spike in activity in the junction of the angular gyrus and the supramarginal gyrus during the man's out-of-body experiences.

Great thread Owls. From what I recall when studying history in tribal cultures, it is believed that the primal part of our sub conscience is much a part of the physical wakeful brian . The primal part that keeps the survial mechinism in tact. These parts in the hormonal chemical productions either are set off by the will to stay alive, danger, adrenaline is the key chemical that is rapidly secreted and therefore is in the areas of where the dopimene , seratoniam , and the wake senter of the hypathalmus and midbrain or little brain. they are reponsible for when perception is relavent and is active in both sleep and awake stages of life.
Now the old legend in one tribe , I remeber was that when a person slept, there spirit , likened unto a animal in the wild roams around out of the body. This makes sense, and therefore describes all kinds of unexplained phanomemon. asteral or lucid dreaming. Meditation is one contoled way of flying outside the core of the physical body and into they say , sometimes the palm of God in Budda and ancient spirituality. [ funny due to the fact that they dont worship a god perxse'] but the nirvana type phrase is the palm of god. very rare for most whom try to reach this forbidden sense of unity with all life space , time.
Still it is a controlld type of out of body experience not that of the tribal animal within as the elders spoke of in their ritualistic but awareness in the mind . Men tried to warn their kin and said to have been haunted by these nite terrors . A sense of out of control , if the body was to die without the spirit in it then it was to be known as a evil spirit that wanders around looking to haunt others that sleep. So it was a untamable respect of the primitive and the actual animal life that has a elemnt just as known to their own , besides themselves. therefore respected when hunted, and prayed for if unmanagsble.
It was also a form of dream interpretation. But in a cultral sense when cerimonies were given after the kill , they would thank the animal for its life. asking it for guidance and production of the food its kind has for the man.
Its all about balance and in some situations superhuman strength is an issue with that part of the brain. Tis true it isnt a normal part that is always activated but is a stored usage for the survival of the human being. there experience as the independant persn they are as we all are it is different but the brain isnt meant to have this as a constant level of brain function. It is a restoration of a back up use a subconscience use and I find this topic to be Out of the ordinary when it is one that might clkaim to be controllable.
THE SUB and the CONSCIENCE mind are one in the same but one acts on impulse for the survial and the dreamstate in our sleep cycle when the brain is still awake but trying to optimize itself. A best left thing for each of us to know we must have , not to control but to be aware of it as much as we need to be and so it can be a benefit not a nusuence when medical health or well being is involved.
Take a person who snaps. Same thing. The insane have lost there ability to think within the normal functioning of the brain . In most cases it cant tell its reality from reality. Halluicantions and voices are active and reasoning from parania is sometimes presentin these dellusions. That primitive animal like built in instinct in a awakefull state is an out of body experience when we lose our sanity.
The brain, a might maze of sllimelike and without ability to feel pain . A trip indeed, a gift to not be takin for granted. Nor controled to the point of mankind tapping into a medical progress for the intent to control the human being. We should always know that there is still 91 perent of the brain left to be discovered , but there is a reason why we cannot discover the mysteries within the brain.
It is because of the destrctive nature man prohibits and cannot turn into a solution, when there is no compromise or will as one to be at a peaceful way of producing. Why would the brain aware of our own ability compromise itself or survival if it is obviously in the harm of a imperfect stage of human containment. I hope that made sense. I have a headache now. See what I made my self do. blah. LoL . that was a joke. teehee. It has to be or Im insane. lol but its ok. cause im in control. BWWRAAHHH [ eil laugh] no im kidding. really. Im tired to and where are those out of body experience when you need them. huh? i mean come on. LoL
