Neuropsychiatrist Peter Fenwick, a longtime epilepsy specialist at London's Maudsley Hospital, explains how a skeptical scientist came to see near-death experiences and the dying process as evidence that consciousness may extend beyond the brain. Drawing on hospice studies, he describes premonitions, deathbed visitors, terminal lucidity, deathbed coincidences and the 'emptying of the body', concluding that death is an expansion of consciousness rather than a switching off. He also describes lab experiments with spiritual teacher Alain Forger, whose apparent ability to 'give light' to students showed measurable brain-to-brain effects in simultaneous EEG recordings.
