AWAreness during REsuscitation - II: A multi-center study of consciousness and awareness in cardiac arrest
Sam Parnia, Tara Keshavarz Shirazi, et al. · 2023 · Resuscitation, 191, 109903
Summary
Multi-center AWARE-II study examining reported consciousness and electrocortical biomarkers during CPR after cardiac arrest.
Why it matters here
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.
