"However, scientists also have other, less controversial explanations about what is going on in our mind when we experience OBEs. For example, a 2023 study from Stanford University analyzed nine epilepsy patients with cerebral electrodes (originally inserted for other purposes). With their permission, the scientists attempted to locate the area of the brain that appeared most affected by out-of-body experiences, pointing them to the anterior precuneus—an area of the brain associated with somatosensory (i.e. body-related) information.

After receiving pulses of electricity, participants experienced distortions both to their sense of space and to their perceived location of consciousness. This work builds on previous research that also suggests that OBEs could be the misalignment of vestibular information with visual information. In other words, the experience of an OBE doesn’t necessarily mean that consciousness exists outside our bodies."
