Connections: "The End of Mr Y" and "Elephants on Acid"

"The End of Mr Y" by Scarlett Thomas is what is decribed as meta-fiction. It is the story of a woman who finds an rare book, and learns the secret of how to travel through the minds of others.

"Elephants on Acid" by Alex Boese is a non-fiction work. It is a collection of descriptions of weird experiments.

What connects these two books?

Both mention Dr Duncan MacDougall and his experiments to discover of the weight of the soul.
