Air date: November 22, 2007
The Canadian neurologist Wilder Penfield succeeded in creating the sensation of an out-of-body experience by stimulating the cerebral neocortex with electrical probes. He was responsible for great discoveries about the localized functions of the brain, but he adhered to the Cartesian dualism of "the heart does not exist in the brain" to his final days.
