These people are also mentally healthy &#8211; they do not suffer from any mental disorder &#8211; at least the vast majority of them (although some schizophrenics may also have out-of-body experiences).<br \/> These people may naturally have a different level of activity of some receptors in the brain than most people. The brain of such people may work similarly to when a normal person is under the influence of a psychoactive substance.
