None of what they're studying proves anything, and findings are still related to their expectation of outcomes. Some of us would suggest that those who leave their bodies are still connected to their minds, and there would still be a function occurring in the brain.
But there is a whole other issue, in that some people feel that this is the other side of the mirror, and the inner journey is the literal way back home. Infinity within, and the universe is the workings of our soul body/orb, though tend to see it as a shared dvd that we all insert.
Its pretty hard to name the outcome when you can't name what you're in.

But that isn't what's happening in this experiment.
Neuroscientists have known for several decades that an individual's 'sense of presence' can be tricked through magnetic manipulation of the brain.
To elicit the illusion, the scientist touches the participant's body with an object in synchrony with identical touches being delivered to the stranger's body, in full view of the participant.
It's like this effect:
In the experiment the brain scanner was used only to locate where in the brain the sensation occurred, it did not to induce the sensation.
I've been "fortunate" enough to have had a couple of MRI scans of my head. In spite of that hefty magnetic field, I never felt any sensation of any sort, except boredom.
Our brains are very interesting

lol...well, luckily the cell phone won't hurt you.
High tension power lines, that might be another story. While there is no definitive proof that they are dangerous, I wouldn't live under one. Can't say I've ever seen an energy exec offer to live next to one either....

Disclaimer - I don't recommend anyone go zapping their brain with magnetic field stimulation as this may have serious consequences to your health.
Too late. You should have made your disclaimer the first lines of the post.
