Robert and Suzanne Mays have studied NDE phenomena together for over 40 years, although neither has had an NDE. They are particularly interested in veridical perceptions during NDEs and apparent interactions during NDEs between the NDEr and physical reality, as well as the neurological evidence of the interaction of the nonmaterial mind with the brain during ordinary consciousness, especially in language comprehension and in memory formation and recall. Their current areas of focus are on
(1) NDErs’ prophetic visions of world events,
(2) describing the nature of the transcendent realm as is evident in NDEr accounts, and
(3) understanding the nature of consciousness as an individuated mind-entity directly interacting with a physical body and brain, as opposed to a non-localized entity spread out across all of existence, transmitting to and receiving from the physical brain.
Robert serves on the Board of the International Association for Near-Death Studies (IANDS) and both Suzanne and Robert lead a local IANDS NDE Group that meets once a month in Durham.
