Abstract
Near-death experiences are defined, on a scientific level, with the acronym NDE, Near-death experiences.
They are known in particular for the tunnel of light that people see when their lives are in danger or emotionally perceived as such. NDE phenomena have been described in every historical period, from the first document in 300 BC. of Plato in the dialogues on Phaedo up to the present day where the psychiatrist R. Moody in the 70s of the twentieth century addressed the phenomenon in a scientific way.1 Since 1978 there has been a scientific society, the International Association for near-death studies, which is dedicated to the study of near-death, similar experiences and their relationship with human consciousness. The results of research and articles regarding NDEs are published in the «Journal of near-death studies».
