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. 606 $aNeuropsychology 606 $aPsychology 606 $aNeurosciences 606 $aReligion 606 $aNeurobiology 606 $aNeuropsychology$3https://scigraph.springernature.com/ontologies/product-market-codes/Y12030 606 $aPopular Science in Psychology$3https://scigraph.springernature.com/ontologies/product-market-codes/Q18003 606 $aNeurosciences$3https://scigraph.springernature.com/ontologies/product-market-codes/B18006 606 $aReligious Studies, general$3https://scigraph.springernature.com/ontologies/product-market-codes/1A0000 606 $aNeurobiology$3https://scigraph.springernature.com/ontologies/product-market-codes/L25066 615 0$aNeuropsychology. 615 0$aPsychology. 615 0$aNeurosciences. 615 0$aReligion. 615 0$aNeurobiology. 615 14$aNeuropsychology. 615 24$aPopular Science in Psychology. 615 24$aNeurosciences. 615 24$aReligious Studies, general. 615 24$aNeurobiology. 676 $a133.9013 676 $a150 676 $a200 676 $a573.8 700 $aEngmann$b Birk$4aut$4http://id.loc.gov/vocabulary/relators/aut$0861715 906 $aBOOK 912 $a9910298084003321 996 $aNear-Death Experiences$91922929 997 $aUNINA
