Cool research on near death experiences

I was reading on the BBC website that a group of scientists are planning to study near death experiences.  They will be conducting the experiment at twenty five different hospitals in the US and UK.  They will be surveying 1500 survivors to see if people with no brain activity or heartbeat can have “out of body experiences.”

People who claim to have had “out of body experiences” tell of floating above their bodies, looking down at the medical staff working in their rooms.  Part of the experiment will involve the scientists placing pictures that can only be seen from near the ceiling in areas of the hospitals where deaths occur most frequently.  When someone survives the experience, if they tell the scientists what those pictures are, the scientists will feel that this is evidence that the out of body experience really DID happen.

What a cool experiment!  I’m curious to hear what the results will be!
