Faking Astral Projection?

Researchers in England and Switzerland have been working on ways to confuse the sensory signals received by the brain allowing people to seemingly watch themselves from a detached location. It all has to do with one's feeling of "self," much as my brother Jack explained in the series I did here on astral projection. The researchers are using head-mounted video displays to fake the brain into thinking its "self" is watching itself, as different tactile tricks are played to enhance the experience of being "out of body." Most interesting.
