People stimulated in these ways may report feelings of ecstasy, a sense of being in the presence of someone who has died, or the feeling that they can float out of their bodies.
However, other elements are lacking. In particular, such people don't have a clear and accurate knowledge of things that they couldn't have come to know by normal means.
