NDERF - Near-Death Experience Research Foundation

About

The world's largest online database of near-death experience accounts, founded by physician Jeffrey Long. NDERF has collected over 5,000 detailed NDE narratives in multiple languages, making it the primary case archive for quantitative and qualitative NDE research. Jeffrey Long's analysis of this dataset, published in the peer-reviewed Journal of Near-Death Studies and the book Evidence of the Afterlife, applies epidemiological methods to assess NDE patterns across age, culture, and medical circumstance. NDERF functions as a companion resource to IANDS and the clinical research programs at Parnia Labs and DOPS, providing the raw case data that academic institutions analyze.
