Near death experiences: http://www.cnn.com/2013/04/09/health/belgium-near-death-experiences/index.html?hpt=hp_c3
I must say, I'd prefer a strip than a truck. Interesting read, but what really blew me away: Legitimate fear I suppose, but wow.
Quality article, really illuminated some of the obstacles that scientists face to study such a phenomena. It would be interesting to dose those who experience an NDE with a generous dose of DMT or maybe 5-meo-DMT or something and see how the experiences compare with the individual's natural NDE both by their reports and on that questionnaire measurement test. I think it would be less invasive and more ethical than attempting to physically measure the brain admist these experiences, sans the drugs being illicit.
