Your soul is floating high above...

UK and US researchers are about to undertake a huge, 3-
year study on near-death experiences (NDEs) in patients who
have experienced cardiac arrest.
Doctors will study 1,500 of these survivors to see if they had
the typical NDE, with the tunnel of light, floating above
themselves and seeing doctors and nurses trying to save
them, seeing friends and relatives, etc. As part of the test,
the doctors are placing images on high shelves in
resuscitation areas of their hospitals, where they can only be
seen from above.
In BBC News, Jane Dreaper quotes Dr. Sam Parnia, who is
heading up the study, as saying, "If you can demonstrate
that consciousness continues after the brain switches off, it
allows for the possibility that the consciousness is a separate
entity. It is unlikely that we will find many cases where this
happens, but we have to be open-minded.
"And if no one sees the pictures, it shows these experiences
are illusions or false memories. This is a mystery that we can
now subject to scientific study?What people experience
during this period of cardiac arrest provides a unique window
of understanding into what we are all likely to experience
during the dying process."
