Claims of Near-Death Experiences, Gestalt Resistance Processes, and Measures of Optimal Functioning

I set forth the rudiments of this model, the Theory of the Extraneuronal Hyperspace, with six propositions. I then use this theory to explain three of the pressing issues within NDE scholarship: the veridicality, precognition and "fear-death experienc… more
