There is some research that claims to prove people have perceptions that are not visual but their brain cannot interpret them as other than visual. So when people have these experiences, they explain there experience as having 'seen' something. The research shows that these perceptions do involve physical perception activity invoving the brain.

<OBEs never turn up new information. That is to say the person experiencing OBE is not able to peek at things outside the area where they are physically located, say behind a curtain or something.>

NO, no... that's not the case. There are many documented (well, what ever THAT is, since it's all subjective experience) described where people were able to describe parts of the room they couldn't have seen from the operating table... as well, of course watching the operation on their own body, etc.

<This is evidence that it's all in the mind.>

Of course it's in the mind... the question is, was the mind moving around the room.
