I'm Posting This From Across the Room

More on today's luck (and lack thereof) at the track, but for now, this strikes me as pretty big news:

Using virtual reality goggles, a camera and a stick, scientists have induced out-of-body experiences — the sensation of drifting outside of one’s own body — in healthy people, according to experiments being published in the journal Science.

I'm sure this will eventually help debunk some paranormal explanations for things, and it probably also has implications for the study of consciousness. Before I get in further over my head, I'll leave you to read the rest of the article and draw your own conclusions.
