From The Ridiculous To The Sublime: Near-death experiences 'explained': Scientists believe it's the last gasp of a dying brain

The doctors from George Washington University medical centre in Washington believe this surge may be the cause of near-death experiences, where patients see themselves walking towards a bright light or floating outside their bodies.
