An Essay to look behind the Membranes of our Brain and Mind

Many reports of out-of-body experiences and similar extraordinary situations accumulate nowadays in the field of psychology and psychiatry, and numerous records of unusual mental states have been published recently in scientific literature. Based on this, the present review tries to bring the fields of neuro- and consciousness science together with quantum physics in a short recapitulation of relevant brain mechanisms and their correlations to quantum phenomena. Regarding additional dimensions, many interesting hypotheses and extrapolations of physical theories are published nowadays, especially in particle physics as well as cosmology. Here, relevant articles were revisited, and this review tries to combine contents of these publications with reports of subjective as well as neuro- and consciousness science.
