Claim reviewed: Certain sound protocols enable astral travel or out-of-body experiences.
A traditional or spiritual practice, not a scientific claim.
What do we know?
Out-of-body experience is a described neurological phenomenon; research links it to a failure to integrate bodily sensory information at the brain's temporo-parietal junction.
What don't we know?
There is no controlled evidence that sound leads to astral travel or that consciousness separates from the body.
Wording we use in the app: An experimental listening ritual; it makes no claim of astral travel or of consciousness leaving the body.
