Temporal lobe epilepsy & religious experience.

[Angrboda]

So for example there is Nun Anne and Matrix Jane. Nun Anne has lived a life of Catholic devotion. Anne has a prayerful brain-state prior to brain-state V (for visionary). Matrix Jane is connected an electro-helmet. Jane has any random brain-state prior to the induction of brain-state V. I contend that the experience of Nun Anne can be deemed likely authentic and the experience of Matrix Jane as clearly inauthentic based on observable characteristics of both Anne and Jane.

Authenticity has nothing to do with it. Either they are induced or they are not. I think you're using authenticity as a substitute for unobservables despite the claim of observables.
