People that have experienced Near death situations sometimes claim that they can feel their soul leaving their body and actually seeing their motionless body from an outsiders perspective. Well it seems that now anyone can experience that with the help of a few cameras. Researchers at the Karolinska Institute have developed a technique to make you feel that you are outside of your own body.
We found a method to change the perceived location of the body in space even if that means that one is located outside the physical body,” cognitive neuroscientist Henrik Ehrsson of the Karolinska Institute in Stockholm says. “They see themselves sitting in the middle of the room, but they feel themselves sitting in a corner of the room.”
It’s amazing how the brain can be tricked in such a way. This obviously takes us back to the ever popular question, “What is real?”. If the brain can be tricked so easily with a few cameras who knows what else is hiding out there that we can’t perceive. The brain takes thousands of pieces of information per second and it interprets all of that as best as it can, leaving out most of the information it gathers. How much is out there that our brain simply chooses to ignore? Have a read at the full article here.

is it worth even wondering what is real and what isn’t? If we find an “answer” how can we prove this “answer” is right or wrong, real or virtual. I guess we are better off being ignorant at some topics, and we’ll remain like that forever. Maybe we’ll know some answers when we die, maybe… and yet again we’ll be able to question every reality that presents to ourselves, or virtuality for that matter.
I say we have to believe in what we see, question it, understand it and hope it’s reality. I am not a man of faith but that’s one of the few things I like having faith in.
