An '''out-of-body experience''' (OBE or sometimes OOBE), is an [[experience]] that typically involves a sensation of floating outside of one's [[body]] and, in some cases, perceiving one's [[physical]] body from a place outside one's body (autoscopy). The term out-of-the-body experience was introduced in 1943 by G.N.M Tyrrell in his book ''Apparitions'',[1] and adopted by, for example, Celia Green[2] and [[Robert Monroe]][3] as a bias-free alternative to [[belief]]-centric labels such as "astral projection" or "spirit walking". Though the term usefully distances [[research]]ers from scientifically problematic [[concepts]] such as the [[soul]], scientists still know little about the [[phenomenon]].[4]
