Interview with Dr. Bruce Greyson of DOPS

Oh, yeah, there's about a half dozen of us who are actively researching things now. Jim Tucker, who is currently directing the division, has been primarily working with young children who claim to remember past lives. These are preschool kids. Uh, and they often describe very detailed, uh, facts about a past life that in many cases can be verified. People they couldn't have known about.

Interview with Dr. Bruce Greyson of DOPS

Um, uh, Marietta Pelvanova is a, uh, a PhD, uh, who studies both near death experiences and, um, children who remember past lives. And she and I have been doing a work that she is the primary researcher on, looking at near-death experiencers who need help after the experience. What about it makes them seek help? What type of people they seek help from? What type of help they're seeking?

And then what types of help were helpful and which ones were not? And we're finding some very interesting results from that.

Interview with Dr. Bruce Greyson of DOPS

We're also surveying hundreds of doctors at the University of Virginia about their attitudes and beliefs about near-death experiences and posing them the question, if you were to be confronted by a patient who wanted to talk about a near-death experience, would you be able to do that? And if not, what do you think of the barriers to your being able to do that?

Interview with Dr. Bruce Greyson of DOPS

And we had a list of about 20 different barriers. And it was encouraging to us that the ones we might expect, like, oh, I think it's a ridiculous experience, or I think it didn't really happen, it's just their imagination, or it's just a neurological artifact. Very, very few doctors said that. What they said most was, one, I don't know enough about the experience to really talk to them about it.

And number two, I don't have the time to go into that stuff with them. And both of those things are correctable. We can teach people more about it. We can rearrange their schedules and give them people to talk to. So that was very encouraging.

She's also doing other research with people's sense of whether they have control over the experience, especially when it comes to being sent back from this border or point of no return, or whether they're seeing back against their will. She's planning a study of women who have a near-death experience during childbirth and a variety of other things like that.

We also have Marina Weiler, who studies a lot of out-of-body experiences and related experiences. And David Acunzo, who runs our neurophysiology lab, was also studying these same phenomena, out-of-body experiences and other related experiences, looking at what's going on in the brains when people claim to have these experiences. We also have Ed Kelly in the lab and Ross Dunseith.
