A near-death experience (NDE) is a psychological event that may occur when a person nearly dies but is then resuscitated. While no two NDEs are identical, those who have had them reported experiencing similar sensations, such as seeing a bright light or floating above one's body. Scientists have proposed theories to attempt to explain what causes an NDE, but none of these theories fully explains the phenomenon. This has led many lay persons—and even some physicians—to conclude that NDEs are a glimpse into the afterlife and possibly proof that the mind, or soul, can exist without the body. Researchers estimate that about 5 percent of the U.S. population—about 10 million people—has had an NDE, and as cardiac-resuscitation techniques continue to improve, this percentage is expected to rise.
