Thanks Anders, so good to hear from you. Hope you are doing well and your podcast is thriving. I will check it out. A recent article on Mind Matters from the Discovery Institute took a bit of air out of the idea that NDEs demonstrate post brain death experience. In the case presented, the man was hooked to brain monitors and then went into fatal cardiac arrest. It showed specific kinds of brain activities (gamma oscillations) related to memory recall after the heart had stopped pumping blood to the brain. Not sure it disproves the idea that NDEs show non-physical or after death consciousness but I suspect it will be used to bolster the physicalist position.
