Do Near-Death Experiences (NDE) provide evidence for the survival of the self beyond the physical function of the brain, especially when neuro-scientist say that scientists can induce out-of-body experiences?
Many people who have recovered from life-threatening injuries have said they experienced their lives flashing before their eyes, saw bright lights, left their bodies, or encountered angels or dead loved ones. These phenomena are usually reported after an individual has been pronounced clinically dead, hence the term near-death experience (NDE).
Such out-of-body sensation of near-death experiences are regarded by some people as evidence of an afterlife.
According to conventional science, when people's hearts stop beating and they stop breathing, the brain shuts down and consciousness disappears. Therefore, many in the scientific community regard the experiences as hallucinatory. During cardiac arrest and resuscitation, blood gases such as CO2 rise or fall because of the lack of circulation and breathing. The researchers say that anything that damages the brain's ability to manage impulses— physical brain injury, drugs, CO2 overload and delirium—can produce near-death sensations.
