Scientific work

For many years there has been serious research in the field of afterlife contacts and the the survival of consciousness after physical death. On this page I would like to list the most important current studies. In my (German) video „Over 100 years of science on afterlife contacts“ (https://youtu.be/Asu6MYe0lGA) I already present some of these studies in more detail.
