Near-death experience, a vivid experience
Is'near-death experience' just a figment of the mind? Many beleive so. But there are still many who claim to have seen a bright light at the end of a long dark tunnel while in coma.
Anyway it is quite intriguing topic. But according to a new study,people who have had nearr-death experience can remember it 'vividly' and emotionally' even years later.
"It's really something that stays in the mind of people as a clear trace, and it's even more clear than a real memory," said Vanessa Charland -Verville, a neuropsychologist in the Coma Science Group at the University of Liege in Belgium.
A report in Live Science says that people across cultures and religious relate 'similar themes' on near-death experience.
The experience includes being out of the body, passing through a tunnel, river or door toward warm, glowing light. Some others report that dead loved ones greeted them, and feel being called back to their bodies, or "told it is not time to go yet".
"In the study , the team gave memory questionnaires to eight coma survivors who had near-death experience, six who had coma memories but no memory of near-death experiences, seven who had no memories of their coma, and 18 people who had not had any of these experiencs," the report says.
Even years later, when their memories were compared, the near-death experiences appeared 'hyper-real'. They were emotionally more vivid than all other memories.
