The following article was created using ChatGPT (Chat Generative Pre-trained Transformer) — a Microsoft chatbot developed by OpenAI and launched in November 2022. ChatGPT has been fine-tuned using both supervised and reinforcement learning techniques. It has quickly garnered attention for its detailed responses and articulate answers across many domains of knowledge. ChatGPT can write introduction and abstract sections of scientific articles which has raises ethical questions in academic circles. Critics have stated that ChatGPT would usher in “the end of high school English”; and that teachers should be concerned about students using ChatGPT to outsource their writing.
This article summarizes key studies of near-death experiences published from 1975 through 2021.

KEY NDE STUDIES PUBLISHED IN 1985
One study on near-death experiences was published in 1985 by Kenneth Ring and Sharon Cooper in the Journal of Near-Death Studies. The study aimed to explore the similarities and differences in the experiences reported by individuals who had a near-death experience (NDE) and those who had a transcendent experience (TE) without a near-death event. The researchers found that both NDE and TE individuals reported similar experiences of expanded consciousness, heightened awareness, and a sense of unity with the universe. However, NDE individuals reported additional experiences such as the sensation of leaving their bodies and encountering a being of light or deceased loved ones. The study concluded that both NDE and TE experiences appear to share common features, and that the distinction between them may be a matter of degree rather than kind.
KEY NDE STUDIES PUBLISHED IN 1984
The first study was conducted by Dr. Bruce Greyson and published in the American Journal of Psychiatry. The study examined the after-effects of near-death experiences (NDEs) on individuals who had experienced them. The study found that individuals who had an NDE experienced a range of positive psychological changes, including increased spirituality, reduced fear of death, and an enhanced sense of meaning and purpose in life.
Another study was conducted by Raymond Moody and Paul Perry and published in their book, “Reflections on Life After Life.” The study involved interviews with 150 people who had experienced near-death experiences. The researchers found that many of the experiences reported by the participants were consistent with each other, including feelings of peace and joy, encounters with a being of light, and a review of one’s life.
A third study was conducted by Kenneth Ring and published in the Journal of Near-Death Studies. The study examined the differences between near-death experiences and mystical experiences. The study found that both types of experiences shared similar characteristics, such as a sense of unity and interconnectedness with the universe, but that NDEs also included additional elements such as an out-of-body experience and encounters with deceased loved ones or spiritual beings.
