Summary
Multi-center AWARE-II study examining reported consciousness and electrocortical biomarkers during CPR after cardiac arrest.
How this source is used on the map
Modern follow-up to AWARE that keeps the page current and helps distinguish reported awareness during resuscitation from stronger afterlife interpretations.

Editorial note
Full author list intentionally trimmed to et al. for readability. The study is important for cardiac-arrest consciousness research, but hidden-target evidence for veridical perception remains limited.
Linked claims
A handful of veridical NDE cases are striking. The leap from 'unexplained by current models' to 'proof of afterlife' is large.
A consistent core experience — peace, light, life review, OBE — reported across cultures and prospective hospital studies.
Related evidence hubs
Evidence around dying, near-death experience, and what (if anything) continues.
Whether anything of mind continues.
Structured experiences during cardiac arrest and crisis.
The nature of subjective experience.

A comparative guide to the strongest survival-adjacent evidence: NDEs, terminal lucidity, deathbed visions, past-life memories, mediumship, and after-death communication.
What NDE studies support, what they do not prove, and why the phenomenon remains one of the strongest spiritual-adjacent evidence clusters.
A balanced synthesis of the strongest and weakest evidence across afterlife, consciousness, reincarnation, mystical, psi, and practice claims.

Most-cited rigorous attempt at empirically testing claims of conscious awareness during clinical death.
Adds a second medical-cohort anchor beside van Lommel and AWARE, useful for showing that NDE research is not based only on retrospective anecdote.
First major prospective NDE study in a peer-reviewed general medical journal, central because it moved the debate beyond retrospective anecdote.
Direct background for any claim about whether something of the person survives death, and a useful guardrail against treating survival as a single simple proposition.
