Episode notes

This chapter delves into the speculation surrounding the chemicals produced by the brain during near-death experiences and explores potential substances associated with NDEs. It also addresses questions about auditory retention during NDEs and the preservation of different senses. Additionally, it mentions cases where individuals were pronounced dead but later recovered, highlighting the profound impact of NDEs on people's perspective on life.

Tunnels of light. Unconditional love. Visions of dead aunts. And a lot of questions. What happens when you die… or almost die? GOOD QUESTION. Dr. Bruce Greyson chats about about brain activity during death, accounts from patients, out of body experiments, time dilation, the Swiss Alps, deathbed visions, accidental morgue visits, neurotransmitters, party drugs, religion vs. spirituality, and what matters most in life. As a world-renowned and respected psychiatrist and neurobiologist, he’s sought out answers for four decades and shares what we know – and don’t know – about the border of alive and unalive. Get out your phone and some scissors because it’s a real crush-texter & bang-cutter of an episode.
