  • Summary

    It is reasonable and scientifically appropriate to search for neural correlates of near-death experiences (including out-of-body experiences, OBEs) in the context of altered states of consciousness (ASCs). Our survey of the literature showed direct connections from NDEs via ASCs to brain mechanisms. Dualistic and paranormal approaches, subjective belief, and approaches via quantum physics appear either scientifically inadequate or premature to provide explanations for the NDE/OBE phenomena.
