But how should such experiences be interpreted? Are they verifiable with scientific methods? If so, how can they be explained? Attempting to relate matters of scientific knowledge to subjective experience and the realm of belief is a difficult balancing act, and has led to a variety of approaches to the topic. This work scrutinizes the diverse views, and also myths, about near-death experiences and describes them from a scientific standpoint. Situated at the intersection of neuroscience, psychology, philosophy, and religious studies, this book will appeal to a broad audience of both scientists and general readers. 000696978 588__ $$aDescription based on online resource; title from PDF title page (SpringerLink, viewed January 20, 2014). 000696978 650_0 $$aNeuropsychology. 000696978 650_0 $$aNear-death experiences. 000696978 85280 $$bebk$$hSpringerLink 000696978 85640 $$3SpringerLink$$uhttps://univsouthin.idm.oclc.org/login?url=http://dx.doi.org/10.1007/978-3-319-03728-8$$zOnline Access 000696978 909CO $$ooai:library.usi.edu:696978$$pGLOBAL_SET 000696978 980__ $$aEBOOK 000696978 980__ $$aBIB 000696978 982__ $$aEbook 000696978 983__ $$aOnline 000696978 994__ $$a92$$bISE
