Experiment overview out-of-body illusion


While lying inside a brain scanner and wearing head-mounted displays, the participants were perceptually ‘teleported’ from their physical self-location (grey body) to three different out-of-body positions (green body). The images show sample frames of the participants’ view inside the head-mounted displays. Credit: Arvid Guterstam.
