...work with out-of-body experiences suggests that their neural underpinnings reside in the brain's temporo-parietal junction. Blanke and his colleagues had participants watch their own backs being stroked - either through a video feed coming live to their eyes or through one coming slightly out of synch. Afterward, the participants were blindfolded and asked to return to their original place in the room; on average, those who had had the in-synch physical stimuli - and, thus, the real feeling of an out-of-body experience - "drifted" toward where the illusion had been...

...Afterward various heart-driven focus groups said Obama had "won" the debate, but Clinton's moment was telling. It showed a nimble, lethal political intelligence, a quality she has rarely displayed in public before, and a firm grasp of how a smart President operates. Her fate remains at the mercy of Obama's ability to grow, but like any good bran muffin, she is showing some real high-fiber content...
