I thought this was an interesting article and considering the conservative scientific view of the site, it was also fair...to a degree. To test their theory, it seems that they just disoriented the partcipants' senses and didn't actually stimulate or simulate an OOBE in anyone. I could also be misinterpreting their intentions and/or findings but their reasoning sounds fair enough to me. It neglects that many people learn to develop their recall after multiple experiences.
As Xanth would say, they were never given the opportunity to develop a base-level awareness either.

Thanks for the share, AZ! :-)
They need to teach those participants to "ground/anchor" themselves there.
They should also try to stimulate others senses as well. Like for instance add a song/distinguishable sound or maybe a certain aroma to the scene.
