Dr. Bruce Grayson's Journey into Near-Death Research
Dr. Bruce Grayson's research into near-death experiences (NDEs) began unexpectedly after he encountered a patient in his emergency room who, despite being unconscious, was able to recall details about his actions from the previous night. This experience fundamentally altered his view of the relationship between the mind and brain, prompting him to explore NDEs scientifically. His work has led to over a thousand documented cases and the development of the Grayson NDE scale, allowing for systematic study of these phenomena. Through decades of research, Grayson has published extensively, shaping the discourse around NDEs and their implications for understanding consciousness.
