Parnia et al. recently published suggestions for the study of death and experiences recalled in a near-death context. We have serious reservations about the authors’ statements. In this commentary, we discuss the omissions and knowledge gaps inherent to the authors’ paper, which among others include incorrect neurological claims about brain death and misunderstandings regarding the terminology of consciousness. Although we believe that (near-)death research deserves a framework guideline, the paper by Parnia and colleagues is misleading and, contrary to the authors' intention, hinders the scientific understanding of near-death experiences and the neural mechanisms occurring in the dying brain.

研究死亡和濒死体验需要神经科学专业知识

帕尼亚等。最近发表了研究死亡和在濒死背景下回忆的经历的建议。我们对作者的陈述持严重保留意见。在这篇评论中，我们讨论了作者论文固有的遗漏和知识差距，其中包括关于脑死亡的错误神经学主张和对意识术语的误解。尽管我们认为（濒死）研究值得一个框架指南，但 Parnia 及其同事的论文具有误导性，并且与作者的意图相反，阻碍了对濒死体验和垂死大脑中发生的神经机制的科学理解.
