Out-Of-Body Experience Recreated

Title: OUT-OF-BODY EXPERIENCE RECREATED
Experts have found a way to trigger an out-of-body experience in volunteers.
The experiments, described in the Science journal, offer a scientific explanation for a phenomenon experienced by one in 10 people.
Two teams used virtual reality goggles to con the brain into thinking the body was located elsewhere.
The visual illusion plus the feel of their real bodies being touched made volunteers sense that they had moved outside of their physical bodies.
The researchers say their findings could have practical applications, such as helping take video games to the next level of virtuality so the players feel as if they are actually inside the game.
Clinically, surgeons might also be able to perform operations on patients thousands of miles away by controlling a robotic virtual self.

Come on god, answer me. for years I'm asking why, why are the innocent dead and the guilty alive? Where is justice? Where is punishment? Or have you already answered, have you already said to the world here is justice, here is punishment, here, in me.
I still talk to God sometimes, I ask him if what I'm doing is right or wrong, I'm still waiting for an answer, and until I get one, I'll be waiting, watching, THE GUILTY WILL BE PUNISHED!

Wow somebody get me a pair of those goggles. I wonder if you could use them to take a virtual vacation? Just not a bad Total recall type of fake vacation... a good Johnny Depp type of vacation.

This post is not a subliminal message. If you start randomly beating yourself upside the head later, it is not because of this post. I promise.

Metallic whine, amidst the pines,
Novembers' falling and the Fall is bringing something with it...

I wonder whether this technology would be useful for people who are paralyzed, or have disabilities? :unsure:

It would seem so... atleast give them a chance to experience the things they once/never could do.

I have seen the Virtual Operation controlled by robotic hands.Some guy from another country doing an operation on a woman in another country.All went well,but *hell no* would I ever guinea pig for that.
Can't remember what showI had seen that on,but was about 3 months ago.
