Astral projection and out-of-body experiences
A traditional or spiritual practice, not a scientific claim.
Out-of-body experiences in neuroscience
Out-of-body experiences have been reported at sleep-wake transitions, in some neurological conditions and in studies stimulating a particular brain region (the temporo-parietal junction). These findings suggest the experience can be explained by a temporary change in how the brain locates its own body.
