This is "Peter Fenwick explains an NDE" (part 2). He's obviously had an enormous impact on the subject down the years and he still seems as keen as ever. The presentation here, however, is a bit wonky and imprecise IMHO. He's not losing his faculties, I just think he needs some assistance with cues and assembling the presentation. The air traffic controller he refers to is Alan Pring (The Truth in the light)

For anyone interested Alan Pring's experience is here (bit sentimental for some but nonetheless genuine)

One of the videos in that playlist is entitled "Brain Flash: Peak Neural Activity Following the Moment of Death".
The immediate thought here is that there is no "Moment of Death", there is only a process. Starting with a misconception doesn't seem a solid ground from which to proceed. However, I didn't yet click "Play"...

I'm coming to think of the Society for Scientific Exploration as a lucky dip in which a number of curates' eggs have been concealed.

Wouldn't any publication open to frontier/fringe topics inevitably be so?

No, I don't think there's any reason in principle why the quality of research in unconventional subject areas shouldn't be as high as in mainstream areas. In practice, I'm afraid it's probably lower because such areas don't usually attract researchers of the highest calibre.
Absolutely horrifying, nightmarish Russian NDE with visions of eternal hell. It's the second Russian NDE of that nature I've seen. She is describing various parts of hell where the sinners are tortured eternally for different sins. I haven't herd an NDE this horrible from Western experiencers. Is this cultural, religion-based idiosyncrasy? If it is, why htose affect our perception of the afterlife?
