A major attempt to explain near-death experiences as simple brain chemistry has been dismantled by top experts, who argue the theory ignores the “perplexing” reality of what happens when we die.
The ambitious international effort to create a scientific framework for near-death experiences (NDEs) failed to solve the mystery, according to a new analysis from the University of Virginia (UVA).
In a paper published in Psychology of Consciousness: Theory, Research and Practice, UVA researchers argue that the new model – known as NEPTUNE – cannot account for the life-changing, multi-sensory phenomena reported by those who have brushed with death.
