Near-death experiences are often thought of as mystical phenomena, but research is now revealing scientific explanations for virtually all of their common features.
The details of what happens in near-death experiences are now known widely—a sense of being dead, a feeling that one's "soul" has left the body, a voyage toward a bright light, and a departure to another reality where love and bliss are all-encompassing.
"Many of the phenomena associated with near-death experiences can be biologically explained," says neuroscientist Dean Mobbs, at the University of Cambridge's Medical Research Council Cognition and Brain Sciences Unit. Mobbs and Caroline Watt at the University of Edinburgh detailed this research online August 17 in Trends in Cognitive Sciences.
Out-of-body experiences are also now known to be common during interrupted sleep patterns that immediately precede sleeping or waking. For instance, sleep paralysis, or the experience of feeling paralyzed while still aware of the outside world, is reported in up to 40 percent of all people and is linked with vivid dreamlike hallucinations that can result in the sensation of floating above one's body. A 2005 study found that out-of-body experiences can be artificially triggered by stimulating the right temporoparietal junction in the brain, suggesting that confusion regarding sensory information can radically alter how one experiences one's body.
One of the most famous aspects of near-death hallucinations is moving through a tunnel toward a bright light. Although the specific causes of this part of near-death experiences remain unclear, tunnel vision can occur when blood and oxygen flow is depleted to the eye, as can happen with the extreme fear and oxygen loss that are both common to dying.
Altogether, scientific evidence suggests that all features of the near-death experience have some basis in normal brain function gone awry.
Gradually we will continue to move away from the mumbo-jumbo life-after-death-so-don't-worry crap that is fed to us by those who think that a Sky Fairy will save us all. Science will tell us that there is one life for us all, and to use it well. There will be no 'saviour' to forgive our sins - once we die, it's eternal blackness. Each science fact will be violently denied by some, but in a thousand years will be seen as an individual nail in the coffin of religion.

but it doesn't explain People seeing bald heads or shoes on roofs. hearing conversations they were nowhere near or capable of hearing when on the operating table. there are so many accounts, they can't be dismissed by thorough scientific investigation! telepathy has far greater evidentiary support than 99% of pharmaceutical meds! the tunnel is I believe. as stated by the Rabbi in one of the videos I posted in thred can't categorize the memory of birthing. One of the last episodes of star treks series ended with a silicone life form. that enabled me to understand that We can't know what We have never seen or are capable of comprehending. some of the vagueness of dreams is due to that. You comprehend fear but are not always clear on what is the cause. a shadow or something. We have been conditioned with visual stimuli and interpretation for eons.
It is a vary long way along the road to explaining all of those things. Hallucinations are common among those close to death, usually caused by the brain in process of shutdown. As for being awake on the operating table....
