Alexander Batthyany

The Light Before the End of the Tunnel: Preliminary Results from the Multi-Phase Terminal Lucidity Study The unexpected and spontaneous return of cognitive function and mental clarity shortly before death in patients suffering from severe psychiatric and neurological disorders, i.e. terminal lucidity (Nahm and Greyson 2009), has repeatedly been reported in the medical literature. The majority of these reports, however, have been anecdotal. Currently little is known about the occurrence and true prevalence of terminal lucidity. The ETL Study (Dept. of Cognitive Science, University of Vienna) is a multi-phase retrospective study with the goal of systematically investigating the prevalence, phenomenology, course, and potential causal factors involved in terminal lucidity. Alexander Batthyany will present the preliminary results from Phase 1 of the multi-national study alongside some case examples and descriptions of terminal lucidity. Furthermore, Alexander will discuss implications and possible interpretations of terminal lucidity and their relation to the near-death experience. Visit his web site
