There and back: UVA psychiatrist researches near-death experiences

Research on Near-Death Experiences

A UVA psychiatrist, Dr. Bruce Greyson, has been researching near-death experiences, exploring their impact on individuals and how to support those who have had them.

Greyson, along with his team at the UVA School of Medicine's Division of Perceptual Studies, has been studying the experiences of people who have died and been revived.

Most who have near-death experiences say, 'I can't tell you what happened. There are no words for it,' and I believe that.

According to Greyson, these experiences can greatly influence someone's life, and he aims to understand and help those who have had them.

Greyson notes that the nature of what happens after death is beyond human imagination, making it futile to speculate about it.
