Meanwhile, in the real world, actual scientists have done real work in determining what causes NDEs:
Quote:But Swiss researchers found such experiences could be artificially induced by stimulating the right temporoparietal junction in the brain that plays a role in perception and awareness.
The "tunnel of light" sensation reported by those who believe they are having a near-death experience can also be artificially induced.
Pilots flying at G-force can sometimes experience "hypertensive syncope" which causes tunnel-like peripheral or even central visual loss for up to eight seconds.
And a US study suggested the light at the end of the tunnel can be explained by poor blood and oxygen supply to the eye.

But none of this will have any impact on the devotee of all manner of woo. Woo is like heroin and the addicts can't seem to get enough of it.
