In this episode, Dani Foffa speaks with neuroscientist Dr. Charlotte Martial about near-death experiences (NDEs), consciousness, and the neuroscience behind extraordinary states of awareness. Dr. Martial draws on her work at the Coma Science Group, GIGA-Consciousness (University of Liège), and Imperial College London to explain how NDEs occur and why they often feel more vivid than everyday reality. They explore the scientific parallels between NDEs and psychedelic experiences, including ego dissolution, out-of-body experiences, and interconnectedness, and how this research has reshaped Dr. Martial’s understanding of life and consciousness. ✨ Join IANDS: https://iands.org ✨ IANDS online events, groups and more: https://isgo.iands.org ✨ The 2026 IANDS Conference is Aug 26 - 30 in Bellevue, WA ✨ Please subscribe to this channel for new video notifications.
