Near-death experiences in medicine.

Baylor University Medical Center Proceedings 2019 Jonathan Kopel

Near-death experiences (NDEs) have been a source of controversy within academia and the public. NDEs occur in 10% to 20% of patients who have come close to death and consist of vivid, subjective experiences that occur during life-threatening emergencies. Specifically, NDEs include out-of-body experiences, pleasant feelings, seeing deceased relatives, a life review, or a conscious return into...

Memories of near-death experiences: are they self-defining?

Neuroscience of Consciousness 2019 Héléna Cassol, Arnaud D’Argembeau, Vanessa Charland-Verville et al. 16 citations

Some people report memories of near-death experiences (NDEs) after facing situations of impending death and these memories appear to have significant consequences on their lives (here referred to as “real NDE experiencers”; real NDErs). We assessed to what extent NDE memories are considered self-defining: memories that help people to define clearly how they see themselves. We screened 71...

Prevalence of near-death experiences in people with and without REM sleep intrusion.

PeerJ 2019 Daniel Kondziella, Jens P Dreier, Markus Harboe Olsen 34 citations

The origin and prevalence of near-death experiences are unknown. A recent study suggested a link with REM sleep intrusion but was criticized for its selection of control participants. We therefore assessed the association of REM intrusion and near-death experiences with different methods. Using a crowd-sourcing platform, we recruited 1,034 lay people from 35 countries to investigate the...

Migraine aura, a predictor of near-death experiences in a crowdsourced study.

PeerJ 2019 Daniel Kondziella, Markus Harboe Olsen, Coline L. Lemale et al. 17 citations

Near-death experiences (NDE) occur with imminent death and in situations of stress and danger but are poorly understood. Evidence suggests that NDE are associated with rapid eye movement (REM) sleep intrusion, a feature of narcolepsy. Previous studies further found REM abnormalities and an increased frequency of dream-enacting behavior in migraine patients, as well as an association between...

Virtual mortality and near-death experience after a prolonged exposure in a shared virtual reality may lead to positive life-attitude changes

PLoS One November 5, 2018 Itxaso Barberia, Ramon Oliva, Pierre Bourdin et al. 71 citations

Mortality is an obvious if uncomfortable part of the human condition, yet it is impossible to study its impact on anyone who experiences it. Reports of phenomena associated with death such as out-of-the-body (OBE) and near death experiences (NDE) can only be studied post-hoc, since it is impossible to design a scientific study where an experimental group experiences death (and returns) and a...
