Are You Staring At Me ?

"Two Swiss scientists said they had been able to identify a part of the brain that may be responsible for the "out-of-body" experiences of patients who came close to death.

Electrical stimulation of a key area of the brain near the temple upset the mind's perception of the body..

The brain generates an image of the body in the mind. But this is an external image as if the body were projected under, facing or behind the person. "In the first two instances, the patients still recognises their own image; in the latter, however, they sense another, sombre and menacing, presence."

I hate it when that happens.
