I read the article about the study that you link to in BBC News and science. "Near Death experience is electrical surge in dying brain."that study is limited to rats and we don't know at what point in the process the activity starts. It could be the experiences of white light and all that are before the surge. It also seems odd that the experiences would be so standard. It seems more coincidental that they would naturally mimic ideas about religion. |

Interesting programme on Radio 4 on 9th September - Beyond Belief www.bbc.co.uk/podcasts/series/beliefIncludes contributions by a Professor of Psychology and also by author of a fortcoming book by someone who has researched such experiences. Some interesting discussion of case studies. Also interesting conclusion that suggested such experiences may indicate the brain is a kind of filter of consciousness with such experiences unblocking the filter and allowing a glimpse of a wider reality. Anyway I think that was the suggestion. |

The vivid experiences reported by near-death survivors could be responsible for a surge of electrical activity in the brain.

The vivid experiences reported by near-death survivors could be responsible for a surge of electrical activity in the brain. Sure, but is the surge the cause of the experiences, or do the expedience cause the surge? If the surge is the cause what caused the surge? |

A question: how long are most of these NDE's? Since the only one I have heard of personally was for a few hours, and the guy came to in the hospital mortuary after having been already declared dead. Of course, his experiences also were a lot more vivid than the typical reports I have read of.
