We thank the COGITO foundation for supporting our attempts, originally initiated by Erich Menninger-Lerchenthal, to bridge the gaps between neuropsychology and parapsychology of anomalous experiences.

Third International Congress on Epilepsy, Brain, and Mind: Part 2
2015, Epilepsy and BehaviorCitation Excerpt :Descriptions of OBEs have a long tradition in parapsychology [204], but scattered reports have always been around in the neuropsychiatric literature, as well, especially in connection with seizure disorders [205,206]. The interest of neuroscientists and philosophers in this phenomenon has exponentially increased [207,208] after a seminal 2002 Nature paper [209]. This report described the experimental induction of an OBE by electrocortical stimulation over the parietotemporal junction during presurgical epilepsy evaluation.
Ketamine as a primary predictor of out-of-body experiences associated with multiple substance use
2011, Consciousness and CognitionCitation Excerpt :Empirical investigation of OBEs has important scientific implications for understanding bodily self-integration and the embodied nature of self-consciousness. In addition, enhanced understanding of cognitive and neural mechanisms of sensory disintegration contributing to the breakdown in the feeling of the integrity of one’s embodiment can legitimize and naturalize the OBEs experienced by neurological patients and those with mental illness and demystify them as “paranormal” and “anomalous” experiences (Brugger & Mohr, 2009). Investigation of the neural underpinnings of OBEs has largely come from the field of neurology, involving case studies of individuals with brain lesions (e.g., Blanke, Landis, Spinelli, & Seeck, 2004) and the use of brain stimulation techniques (e.g., Blanke et al., 2005).
