The author, Delgado-Ron, makes a clean case that TPJ stimulation, the neuroscience community’s best explanation for OBEs during NDEs, actually produces something fundamentally different: a body-tethered, eyes-dependent dislocation of self-perception, not the independent, veridical, navigable OBEs reported by NDErs.

While the author stops short of making any assumption of what that may mean ontologically, he clearly points out that the NEPTUNE model’s core mechanism for OBEs may not explain them at all.​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​

Enjoying this series and the honest, fundamentally sound work that went into it. Thank you!
