"That has led some people to believe that near-death experiences are simply biological, chemical reactions to the brain dying," San Filippo said.suggested that the overwhelmingly positive experience people report with NDEs may be linked to a flood of serotonin the brain releases. This may be the brain's way of gradually preparing the body for death by inducing feelings of euphoria and pain relief, San Filippo said.
"We hear the same story. It might differ based on cultural or spiritual beliefs, but it is essentially the same," San Filippo said."That leads us to believe that a near-death experience is a transpersonal experience happening outside of the brain.
"If we can learn more about what causes a positive near-death experience that is comfortable and peaceful, we could possibly develop a powerful therapy for people who are in turmoil or struggling," Rasouli said.
