    I have published already since 2006 a complete explanation of ´Near-Death Experience´(NDE). 2006 — 2026 is a 20th years anniversary.
    In a NDE we can perceive LIVE and CONSCIOUS how a single stimulus, thought, situation is proecessed by the brain — step by step. Using a recall of life-span experiences and/or a mental simulation of the actual situation (as out of body experience).
    My NDE-explanation is published in my book/e-book in German language: Kinseher Richard “Auflösung großer Fragen: Was ist Bewusstsein? Was ist Zeit?”. The book is available only in book-shops/internet.
    I repeat again: 20th years anniversary of my NDE-explanation — I am astonished why this is ignored up to now

    I am astonished/surprised why the term ´Near-Death Experience´ is used up to now — althought it is a nonsense:
    When we perceive us, our thoughts and the surrounding then we have to be alive in a state of conscious perception/awareness — this does mean that ´death´ is not ´near by´.
    When we have an ´experience of dying´, then we must become a corpse — and we can not tell anything about this experience, because the death is not reversible: NEVER

    Scientists should not use terms like ´Near-Death Experience´, which make no real sense.

    What we remember dependent always on two states (term: state dependent retrieval): on our physical, intellectual and emotional abilities in the moment A) when we perceive an experience and store it into the memory — and B9 when we recall this experience out of the memory. This does mean: that our memories will be changed at a recall

    e.g. In Near-Death Experiences (NDEs) we can perceive, that memories since the 5th month of fetus-age are recalled/reactivated across the complete life-span in exactly the same order as the physical senses develop:
    touch sense > acoustic sense (unpleasant sounds)> optical sense (tunnel experience) > birth (indirect when light perception change from dull (before birth) to bright(after birth)) > early social- /environmental-experiences (persons who took care for a baby are recalled in NDEs as ´being of light´, from which we get unlimited love and affection) > autobiographical experiences from the 2nd year of childhood up to the actual age.

    This text describe that the LIFE-REVIEW which is perceived in NDEs can be explained, when we consider how our brain is working: state dependent retrieval.

    When we perceive a new stimulus/thought/situation — then our brain reactivate immediately a comparable/identical experience from the memory (term: predictive coding/processing). This is our most important survival procedure — because it allow to react immediately at high speed.

    But when our brain can not find an suitable experience which might be reactivated — then it concentrate itself so strong on the processing of the ´strange experience´, that we can perceive now as a conscious experience how it is working: e.g. in a ´Near-Death Experience´. This is the start-TRIGGER of NDEs.
    When the focus of the mind´s attention/perception is laid onto another stimulus/thought/situation — then the NDE is finished.

    So simple is the START / END of an NDE
