H. Henrik Ehrsson reports on an experiment that induces out-of-body experiences (OBEs) in healthy participants. The study uses a perceptual illusion where individuals experience their center of awareness as located outside their physical bodies, viewing themselves from another person's perspective. This illusion is created by presenting participants with a video feed of their back from the perspective of someone sitting behind them, while simultaneously touching both their actual chest and the chest of an illusory body located below the cameras. Participants reported experiencing the illusion and showed significant skin conductance responses (SCRs) when the illusory body was "hurt," indicating emotional responses as if they were located behind their physical bodies. The findings suggest that the sense of being localized within the physical body is determined by perceptual processes, specifically the visual perspective and multisensory stimulation. The study provides objective evidence for the role of multisensory correlations and first-person visual perspective in the perception of body ownership.H.
