Many people see a bright light during their near-death experiences, experts say.
“This latest report of persistent brain waves after cardiac arrest has been blown out of proportion by the media.
“That is, those patients who had near-death experiences did not show the reported brain waves, and those who did show the reported brain waves did not report near-death experiences,” Greyson told CNN via email.
Greyson, who was not involved in the new study, is the coeditor of “The Handbook of Near-Death Experiences: Thirty Years of Investigation.” He and cardiologist Dr. Pim van Lommel, a Dutch researcher and writer on near-death experiences, submitted comments to the journal to publish alongside the new study.
It’s correct that the study was not able to match electrical activity with a near death experience in the same patient, Parnia said.
