  2. When a person is close to death but recovers, they also occur in stressful or threatening situations – not experienced by all those that are near to death. They range from serenity to extreme fear. OoBE and NDE What occurs? What can explain it? Being awake and seeing your own body from a location outside your physical body

  3. Paranormal • something we do not understand yet causes it • Psychological • beliefs about experience cause them • Physiological • Sleep disorders, brain structure / stimulation, brain chemicals

  4. Paranormal • Something beyond our current understanding is happening • Alvardo • Maybe they had seen it prior to the test – similar things have been shown in fraud cases.

  5. Psychological Self report Explanation of cultural differences in NDEs Highlights the importance of individual differences Cause and effect – did the experience lead to beliefs or beliefs lead to experience? All down to your beliefs before the experience: • Gow et al (2004) • Irwin (1985) • Lai et al (2007) • Greyson (2003)

  6. Biological / Physiological Sleep disorders, brain structure / stimulation, brain chemicals • Jansen (1993) • Nelson (2006) • Carr (1982) • Blanke et al (2002) Reductionist Studies used artificially induced which are not the same as naturally occurring Cannot account for cultural differences

  7. A conclusion… • NDE’s are not experienced by all neaar-death patients so there must be a psychological component to the experience – but is it all psychological? Or is there a biological component too?
