Some two years ago, a couple of scientists in UK were trying to get funding to carry on a research on the existence of the human soul. I am not sure what happened to them but the paper they published after the preliminary research did receive some publicity. Basically they interviewed post-operative patients and some 1/3 of the people reported OBE. They apparently located objects 'hidden' in the room during their surgery, recounted conversations in the room between various people, the tunnel of light was mentioned...stuff like that. Somewhat interesting.
