Re: What is consciousness? Study aims to settle debate (May 20, 2007): I have had some deep thought about your article "what is consciousness?" study aims to settle debate. I would like to make a comment on the paragraph about out of body experiences, that it would not be able to be experience though human senses such as seeing your body lying on a hospital bed or hearing a conversation. These are senses of the body that one would not have if they were a "spirit" or consciousness without a body. If a person was to experience an out of body experince they would not have the body senses such as sight to tell the brain coulor or shape nor would they have ear drums to hear or distinguish tone.
