and a study that suggests eating cheese might make you live longer.

Ooh, cheese.

Yes.

I think we've all heard of at least one good out-of-body experience story.

In fact, we've talked about this incredible phenomenon on this show.

If I recall correctly, scientists were wanting to understand the brain mechanism behind them.

Correct. And not only that, but they wanted to observe the brain's electrical functioning

when an out-of-body experience took place to get a sense for not only why it happens, but where it is. body experience

but where it happens. All kinds of research has been done to understand
