> "This is out of body stuff. Frank: How do you think this works. I don't really know, but it again raises the issue of consciousness that is separate from the brain itself, which can't be functioning much under the circumstances."-How the brain experiences time when it is unconscious or under extreme stress can be completely different from the way we normally experience it. What actually takes place in seconds can be experienced as hours when we're dreaming. It could be that nothing at all is being experienced when a person is flatline, and what they remember is only an experience going into it or coming out of it and it is only imagined that the experience took place during flatline. The period of time separating going into and coming out of flatline might be hours, but the experience before and after could be perceived by the brain as one continuous experience. That's probably what is going on. I've had experiences like this under ether anesthesia where you didn't snap in and out as you do in modern anesthesia but gradually in and out and I experienced all kinds of long, complicated events that could not have taken more than a few seconds in actuality. So I wouldn't put too much supernatural stock in NDE or out of body experiences.
