I suspect that the Stanford "out-of-body" experience study referred to by
your speaker was the SRI International (formerly Stanford Research Institute)
ESP experiments reported on by the PBS "Nova" program in its broadcast
about various aspects of ESP. This was aired last season, and it might have
been a repeat from the preceeding year.

In these experiments, a person in a lab at SRI described the surroundings
of one of the researchers, who drove to various locations in the Bay Area
based on instructions chosen at random from a set of many possible locations 
and routes.

Does this sound like what was described by the speaker? If so, you might want
to check with your local PBS station to see if they have some sort of Nova
program guide with citations or references. I'm sorry, but I cannot recall
the experimenters' names.
