Not sure why that study needed to be done, as it proved nothing. You can imagine yourself from above without actually having a camera 8 feet over your head.

Can you imagine how interesting the results would've been if they HAD known the letter? A lot of scientific studies seem stupid, sometimes they have unexpected results.

It's also super cheap to do as far as medical studies go.

Some people think the out-of-body experience is actually them floating outside of their body in the real world and seeing reality happen in real time from a third person point of view. It disproved that.

the point of the study was that people claim these imaginations of floating about the table were 'proof' of near death experiences, or out of body exp., but inability to read the cards was to show they probably were not really doing that, they were just imaginging that. It's a way to counter the 'how could someone imagine that'. thing.
