There and back: UVA psychiatrist researches near-death experiences

Near-Death Experiences Research

UVA psychiatrist Bruce Greyson studies near-death experiences and their impact on people's lives.

A near-death experience can greatly influence someone's life, and Greyson, along with a team of researchers at the UVA School of Medicine's Division of Perceptual Studies, examines both the experiences and ways to support those who have them.

“Most who have near-death experiences say, ‘I can’t tell you what happened. There are no words for it,’ and I believe that,”

Greyson said, adding that the after-death experience is likely beyond human imagination, making speculation pointless.
