An interdisciplinary archive of scientific and clinical research bearing on the question of whether consciousness persists beyond biological death. This section covers near-death experiences, past-life memories in children, terminal lucidity, mediumship investigations, out-of-body experiences, and the broader mind-brain independence literature. Documented cases and peer-reviewed studies are presented without assertion about ultimate mechanism or metaphysical interpretation.
NDE research, veridical perception, the AWARE studies, and prospective cardiac arrest trials.
SDEs, deathbed visions, peak-in-Darien cases, after-death communications, and the evidential record at the threshold of death.
Stevenson's 3,000-case programme at UVA: children's past-life memories and birthmark correspondences.
Unexpected return of full cognitive clarity in end-stage dementia patients shortly before death.
Blinded mediumship protocols: WINDBRIDGE, VERITAS, and the SPR's historical investigations.
Cases and arguments suggesting mind is not fully reducible to brain activity: hydrocephalus, NDE neuroimaging.
OBE research: laboratory verification attempts, veridical perception studies, and neurological correlates.
