A near-death experience, or NDE, is a profound psychological experience, typically occurring in about 10% of people during a physical or emotional trauma, a life-threatening health crisis, or actual clinical death.

Thousands of documented cases of NDEs challenge some basic assumptions of mainstream psychology, medicine and philosophy. For example, some people who have an NDE are able to report accurately events that occurred around their bodies when they had no detectable brain activity or heartbeat. Experiencers also sometimes report knowledge previously unknown to them that is later verified as accurate. Unlike dreams and hallucinations, NDEs have a consistent internal structure, and cross-culturally, they reflect universal elements. And finally, the aftereffects are enduring and life-altering to a much greater extent than for the majority of people who experience similar health crises without an NDE.

Founded in 1981, the International Association for Near-Death Studies (IANDS) is the only organization in the world devoted exclusively to the study of the Near-Death Experience and the Near-Death-Like Experience. Through building global understanding of NDEs through research, education and support, our mission is to make NDEs and related experiences a part of the common wisdom, enriching the human search for meaning and inspiring a better world.  Becoming a member provides the financial support for this mission while IANDS keeps members up-to-date on breaking research and news. Join today and start receiving all the member benefits.

Two Breaking News Stories about NDEs and Out-of-Body Experiences
The first is an excellent radio interview show, originally broadcast on August 24, 2007 with NDE researcher Dr. Sam Parnia about the research into out-of-body experiences and NDEs. The second is IANDS' perspective and links to coverage of two papers published in the journal Science about how two research teams created an illusion of an out-of-body experience in laboratory settings.

DVDs from the 2006 IANDS conference now available
The 2006 IANDS conference was a first-of-its-kind event in the history of near-death studies. Leading NDE researchers from around the globe came to one of the most prestigious and largest medical centers, The University of Texas M. D. Anderson Cancer Center in Houston, Texas, to offer a 30 year overview of NDE research, including the latest studies conducted in hospital settings. The main presentations from the first two days of the conference are now available on eleven DVDs and can be ordered by clicking here .
 
On these DVDs you will see and hear world leading researchers such as Peter Fenwick, Pim van Lommel, Bruce Greyson, and Jan Holden give their perspectives. Each DVD includes PowerPoint presentations interspersed with each presenter speaking and elaborating on the visual slides. The topics covered range from Explanatory Models for NDEs to Veridical Perception (out-of-body experiences) to NDEs Across Cultures. These DVDs will provide you with the state-of-the-art in NDE research: what we know today and where the research is headed in the future.
