I'm doing a project on out of body experence and I just want as much information on it as I can get:)

You can pick up books on OBEs at your local book store in the "religion" or "occult" sections (ask for the Bibles if you can't find the right section).

You may also want to study Astral Projection, the practice of voluntarily splitting the spirit from the body. You also may be interested in the connection between anaesthesia and OBEs, as many OBEs are experienced during medical procedures. The only other thing I can think of is anaesthesia failure, the small chance of anaesthesia to shut down the entire body except the senses, which can be incredibly painful for patients undergoing surgical procedures. I'm not sure if it is directly related to OBEs, but it carries the same characteristic of senses separated from the physical body.

The internet also has a lot of great information, though you'll be hard-pressed to find proven fact or citation. Just Google it and see where it directs you. If nothing else, it may expose you to another phenomenon associated with OBEs and provide you with a new subject to study.

You can also look up Astral (Astro?) Projection, is what I think it is, anyway, Google will tell you if you get the spelling or something wrong. But that's kind of the same thing. :)

An ongoing experiment by Dr. Peter Fenwick and Dr. Sam Parnia of Southhampton Hospital in England will prove one way or the other if OBE's are just the dying brain hallucinating or a genuine experience.

I used to have them without wanting them when I would get into a deep meditative state.
I still have problems when I meditate deeply that I am going out of body.
I don't want to.
That may be something you could look into further.

I have has OOBS in real life,not dying so I dispute that claim.

I agree with artlady
I don't think OBE is any one thing for everyone. Some experience it because of a 'dying experience', some hallucinating, some a heightened awareness because they are in tune with a spiritual thing, etc... so I don't believe a study can pin point any one reason.

From my understanding of the experiment the aim is not to pinpoint any one reason for OBE's. As you point out there may be many reasons. The part of the experiment I was interested in concerns the question.
'If we really do leave our bodies(for what ever reason)how can we prove that this really happened'.
I might wish to claim that I had an OBE and I might know this to be true in my own mind, but how do I convince others beyond reasonable doubt?

Parnia's experiment involves suspending electronic notice boards from the ceiling of a hospital ER room. The messages are random and cannot be seem by anybody standing in the room. The only way to see them is to be "floating above the operating table". The assumption is that if enough people claim to have left their their bodies, and can relate what the messages were then what other conclusion can we draw?

There is no proving supernatural things beyond a reasonable doubt. That is why they are paranormal and supernatural.
Ghost chasers get images of 'energy' and/or orbs on film and EVP's and skeptics will still write it off as having to have some natural explanation.
Many people have even had the dying experience and came back to say what nurses at the nurses station were saying, what the boiler room of the hospital looked like, etc... YET if someone is not willing to believe NO evidence is going to convince them.

I think with the dying and seeing the after life and coming back, the mere fact of all the stories back in the 70's and 80's that are so alike even though they didn't hear the others stories is enough to convince me.

What people call reincarnation is another thing that even with the stories I have heard do not sway a skeptic. I have heard two stories that have convinced me of what is called reincarnation but I believe it is something more like channeling and not reincarnation.
