   • 2013 August 23, Anil Seth, “Near-death experience”, in The Guardian Weekly, volume 189, number 11, page 20:

     Most neuroscientists would be very sceptical of claims that consciousness of any sort could exist independently of a living brain. There is a growing consensus that consciousness, like life, weather, and cricket, is just another part of the natural world – albeit one that is reluctant to divulge its secrets. But it is unwise to dismiss reports of near-death experiences, which are usually reported after traumatic life-threatening events such as heart attacks.
