DOPS - Division of Perceptual Studies

About

The most academically credentialed consciousness research unit in the world, housed within the University of Virginia School of Medicine. Founded by Ian Stevenson, whose 40-year investigation of children's past-life memories produced over 3,000 documented cases. Current leadership under Jim Tucker (reincarnation cases) and Bruce Greyson (near-death experiences) continues peer-reviewed publication in mainstream medical journals. DOPS's methodology - rigorous case collection, blind follow-up, prospective criteria - sets the evidentiary standard for post-mortem consciousness research globally.
