“灵魂出窍”体验（OBE）是一种奇怪的、通常是短暂的感觉，在这种感觉中，一个人的意识似乎脱离了身体，并占据了一个遥远的观察位置。在这里，我们描述了通过对正在接受癫痫治疗评估的患者的大脑右角回进行局部电刺激来重复诱导这种体验。该部位的刺激还引发了患者手臂和腿部的幻觉转变（复杂的体感反应）和全身位移（前庭反应），表明体外体验可能反映了大脑未能整合复杂的体感和前庭信息。
'Out-of-body' experiences (OBEs) are curious, usually brief sensations in which a person's consciousness seems to become detached from the body and take up a remote viewing position,,. Here we describe the repeated induction of this experience by focal electrical stimulation of the brain's right angular gyrus in a patient who was undergoing evaluation for epilepsy treatment. Stimulation at this site also elicited illusory transformations of the patient's arm and legs (complex somatosensory responses) and whole-body displacements (vestibular responses), indicating that out-of-body experiences may reflect a failure by the brain to integrate complex somatosensory and vestibular information,,.
