People who say they've had a near-death experience -- which includes feeling outside of one's body, and an accompanying sense of peace -- often have different sleep-wake control systems than other people, U.S. researchers report.

The finding could help explain this experience in certain people, concludes a U.S. study in the April 11 issue of the journal Neurology.

I can't wait to hear the response; probably more of the anti-christian atheistic religion from all us skeptics and scientists...

Naw, it'll just be quietly forgotten by those who don't want to deal with it, along with all the other evidence that near-death experiences are bullshit. People who have them or want to believe in them don't even bother researching anything scientific about them. They just go right to the New-Age crackpot section of the bookstore.

I thought the tunnel vision and light happened to the guys in the G-force tester when the blood was drained from their heads? Is it only certain people there as well?

Not sure, but that's a good question. My impression is that everyone gets that when enough G-Force is subjected to them...
