Does some aspect of our personality survive bodily death? Long a philosophical and theological question, in the 20th century this became the subject of scientific research. Fifty years ago, in 1967, Ian Stevenson, then chair of UVA’s Department of Psychiatry, created a research unit—now named the Division of Perceptual Studies—to study what, if anything, of the human personality survives after death. Dr. Stevenson’s own research investigated hundreds of accounts of young children who claimed to recall past lives.
In this Medical Center Hour, faculty from the Division of Perceptual Studies highlight the unit’s work since its founding, including studies of purported past lives, near-death experiences, and mind-brain interactions in phenomena such as deep meditation, veridical out-of-body experiences, deathbed visions, apparent communication from deceased persons, altered states of consciousness, and terminal lucidity in persons with irreversible brain damage. As the division enters its second half-century, what are its research priorities and partnerships?

It is not death. A message from the other side as a collective whole: "Not time, space or distance can keep us apart. Souls NEVER separate, only the flesh is gone."
I had a near death experience happened when some asshole mistaken me for someone else who owned him money.
was there life before death?
Yes there's a life after death it's been proved 50000 year back by ancient Hindu veda , Rigveda, so no need to do any research only become Hindu
Believe me, there is no life after death. Nothing remains when a person dies, it is THE END. What you have read in the religious books like bible etc . are all myth. There is no such a place like heaven and hell.
I don't have time to even watch this video, I just know that there is life after death, positively. I have passed on (and revived) many times due to my health problems and have been to the spirit world each time. I already know if there is life after death. There is, period. There is a God also.
Extremely interesting and important document. Well done, @UVA. And I would like to know who these 613 morons are (as of today) who disliked this great documentary. Surely dull heads. Pumpkin brains. Fools.
What balderdash and waste of money this all is. So funny how intelligent or seemingly intelligent people can give themselves so completly to such futile research.
And he (i.e. man) presents for Us an example (i.e. attempting to establish the finality of death) and forgets his [own] creation. He says, “Who will give life to bones while they are disintegrated?” Say, “He will give them life who produced them the first time; and He is, of all creation, Knowing.” [It is] He who made for you from the green tree, fire, and then from it you ignite. Is not He who created the heavens and the earth Able to create the likes of them? Yes, [it is so]; and He is the Knowing Creator. (Quran, 36:78-
When we brought our child home after being born , only 4 days later when he was sleeping on a nightly occurrence he would be smiling and actually laughing at times during his sleep . A child at this age has no concept of anything comical regardless if adults try to make them laugh , hearing and eyesight has still not developed, letter know the concept of laughter . I have 5 boys and this happened with 3 of them .
What a waste!
No but there's death after marriage
There is life after deaths with ALL animals, not just humans. Again, humans are not that special in this entire universe. We are as intelligent as a bug to other far more advanced life forms in the universe, as a bug is to humans.
I am one of the many who remember our past generations. Our body dies but the spirit lives on for 7 generations.
We do meet heavenly souls but earthly people do not and will not believe it.
So we shut our mouth and sit quite. 🙂
There is an unbreakable Universal and Dimensional Law that encompasses Space, Time, The Microcosm and the Macrocosm, it is at once a Simple Law and a Profound one. The Law is this. There is No such thing as "Nothing" Science is Slowly moving towards this Truth.
I can record spirits giving intelligent answers virtually anywhere and at any time. If I do a video in my house that’s 1 minute long I will generally have at least three spirit voices in it saying hello, my name, etc. I’m not making this up and almost anyone I show the video to can also hear them.
Their are Dimensional World that invincible in our World our Spirit exist freely on that world.
Quite enjoy and relate to the subject.
RESEARCH, Are you joking Do you mean The Society for Psychical Research, I thought that died out in the 1930s
This is a very important topic that influences just about everything in our lives. Having done spiritual energy healing work and regression hypnotherapy for many years as well as working with a variety of intuitives and mediums, the concept that our consciousness is eternal and transcends the physical realm is something that became irrefutable for me. When I first became interested in these subjects many years ago I would find all the books I could on reincarnation, NDEs, OOBEs, and other topics relating to consciousness and metaphysics. Coming from an academic background it helped to find accomplished researchers writing about these subjects and bringing some scholarly perspectives to the topics. It is good to have academic researchers collecting evidence in the field of parapsychology to help those who are caught in a materialist science worldview to begin taking the subject of consciousness and spirituality more seriously.

These people are morons. They don't know what science is. You can't study life after death. They are idiots. What a bunch of fools. Wasting our tax dollars.
Still zero evidence for any life after death. Nothing but wishful thinking.
This is essentially the opposite of science. Absurd that a university would actually sanction this non-sense.
