I think the researcher you're refering to is Dr. Susan Blackmore, a psychologist now at
the University of the West of England at Bristol. She had an out-of-body experience
while an undergraduate at Oxford and remembered details that later turned out to be
wrong, which must have put her on a skeptical train of thought. She often writes for the
New Scientist, which has a web site at http://www.newscientist.com
