The phenomenon of near-death experiences (near death experience or NDE or near-death) like seeing a bright light, walk through a tunnel, felt he had reached the end of reality, and the move leaves the body alone sometimes experienced by people who are close to death.
The phenomenon raises questions for researchers. How the origin of the condition? Is a near-death experience is merely an imagination.
During this time, near-death experiences often difficult to detect because the scientific studies do not directly possible. The team of researchers from the Coma Science Group and Cognitive Psychology Research, University of Liege, recently conducted a study with a new approach.
Steven Laureys and Serge Bredart work together to develop a questionnaire to see the phenomenological characteristics of memory, such as sensory detail, self-referencing, and emotions. Questionnaires were distributed to 4 groups of respondents, 3 groups of patients emerging from coma, and one group of healthy patients.
Researchers asked a few questions to participants about the most prominent memories. There are five questions, the real incidence of new questions and the most prominent old, new and old imagination of the most prominent and memories of NDEs.
Researchers then asked participants menyocokkan real experience and imagination with NDEs. This will help researchers uncover whether death experiences related to one's imagination or real events.
During this time, many scientists assume that the product is only dormant imagination. However, the results of this study reveal that the NDE can be said to stand on its own, can not be said to be pure imagination.
In a publication in the journal PLoS ONE, Wednesday (03/27/2013) and then, Laureys and Bredart also said that the NDE experience is very prominent, is unmatched by any other experience. That is, for those affected, suspended animation really real ..
"The origin of physiological torpor make it truly felt though not actually exist in reality," said the researcher, as quoted Opposing Views, Monday (03/01/2013). This means that, for people who experience near-death, the experience was real.

Of suspended animation because, as reported by Science Daily, Wednesday, researcher outlines that one of its components, namely the out of body experience, may result from dysfunction of the brain called the tempo-parietal lobe. Tempo-parietal lobe is the part of the brain that play a role in the process of secession with something.
Various studies have been dug on the physiological mechanisms of suspended animation, particularly related to the creation of the phenomenon by the brain. However, developing theories which still have not been able to explain this experience as a whole.
Process of emergence can not be decomposed torpor clear. However, researchers confirmed that suspended animation is not just related to psychological or physiological factors (metabolism), but both.
