Abstract
Spirituality is increasingly acknowledged in medicine as a legitimate topic of instruction and focus of research. I highlight some findings of my own and others' retrospective research on near-death experiences (NDEs), review recent prospective research by myself and others, and describe veridical perception research I plan to undertake. After reviewing findings regarding approaching-death experiences and their re lationship to NDEs, I assert my current perspective on the relationship between mind and brain and explain the impact that empirical support for that perspective will have on both science and humanity.
