I speak to Dr. Kimberly Penberthy of University of Virginia's Division of Perceptual Studies, also known as DOPS. Kim is a Professor of Psychiatry and Neurobehavioral Sciences and her research at DOPS includes after-death communications and altered states of consciousness, including a planned study involving psilocybin for prolonged grief.
DOPS is a research unit within the UVA School of Medicine that rigorously investigates and studies extraordinary experiences of human consciousness and the mind. The division explores topics such as near-death experiences, children who claim to remember past lives, altered states of consciousness and much more. The core of their mission is a commitment to rigorous evaluation of empirical evidence surrounding these exceptional human experiences and capacities.
