Very interesting. The part about people interpreting the stimulation of the right temporal lobe as meeting the devil really freaked me out for some reason.

No, I rather not want to see myself meeting the devil and going to hell. It sounds almost like asking for someone to stimulate a nightmare for you. :blind:
Creepy stuff. But I thought the experimenters have a long way to go before they can try to explain the stuff people see. I mean, that guy who flew out of his car when it crashed wasn't sitting calming wearing a helmet and blind folded with stuff being zapped at his temporal lobes.
I'm more interested in seeing what happens when they zap the whole brain while the participant is seated comfortably having a coffee or something. Seems more realistic.

Well i have been checking up on it some more and it appears to work on about 80% of the population. "the visions usually relate to whatever you believe. Curious as to how this would work for atheists.. aliens perhaps?"
Re: out of body experience, angles and other stuff.
Do you even need magnetic stimulations to start fantasizing stuff while blind-folded in an empty silent room? I can imagine just the lack of stimuli and the expectation that 'something' must happen can be enough to induce these feelings of 'a presence' and 'floating outside of yourself'.

Heh. The way you've worded it makes me think that some people simply fall asleep!
Also, I've corrected the topic title. I'm sure nobody seriously believes that angles are the creation of religions
