These refer to the magnetic stimulation of the temporal lobes producing OBE or mystical like experiences. I have already commented on this much earlier in this very topic when I wrote ......

This research failed to be replicated in a ‘double blind’ controlled trials by Swedish team lead by Pehr Granqvist who found no discernable effects. (If you put a device on people’s head and they are half expecting to experience something weird, many will report it. If the researcher believes in the effect of what they are reporting they can misinterpret information).

Even if one assumes the effects claimed by Blanke, Persinger, etc. was correct, it still does rule out the brain is a filter of consciousness, such effects could equally be viewed as disruption of the brain filtering.

Also note, even if we assume the effect is real, the discover of the effect Michael Persinger - obtained positive evidence of remote viewing when testing Ingo Swann one of the psychic spies in the US Government's Stargate research.
