A really interesting story about nerds being able to produce 'out-of-body' experiences for subjects.I think it works something like this: They get a volunteer to put on virtual reality glasses. The image they see is of their self. Then they stimulate the person, like rubbing them with a stick. They see an image of themselves being rubbed with a stick.
Then, they stop rubbing the real person, but the volunteer sees their image still being rubbed. Then the nerds pretend to like smash the virtual volunteer. The real volunteer will wince in pain, as if they had really been struck. Freaky.
They say it could explain other out-of-body experiences.
Like, Whoa. Duuuuuude.
