Beyond the Mind-Body Problem: New Paradigms in the Science of Consciousness September 11th, 2008, United Nations, New York
An International U.N. Symposium Featuring
Mario Beauregard, Ph.D. Elie During, Ph.D. Ebrahim Elahi, M.D., FACS Bruce Greyson, M.D. Andrew B. Newberg, M.D. Sam Parnia, M.D., Ph.D. Christina M. Puchalski, M.D., FACP Jeffrey M. Schwartz, M.D. Henry P. Stapp, Ph.D. Esther M. Sternberg, M.D.
Over the past decade, an increasing number of physicians and neuroscientists have sought to uncover the complex relationship between mind, brain, and consciousness as they continue to search for a more comprehensive perspective on the "self" and the workings of the human mind. Though much remains to be done, their findings to date have shed a more holistic light on our understanding of the elusive mind-body problem. Join our panel of renowned experts as they explain how new paradigms fueled by the latest scientific research are beginning to fundamentally alter how we perceive and relate to the physical world.
The symposium will also serve as the occasion for the formal launch of The Human Consciousness Projectâa multidisciplinary collaboration of international scientists and physicians who have joined forces to research the nature of consciousness and its relationship with the brain. Led by Dr. Sam Parnia, The Human Consciousness Project will conduct the world's first large-scale multicenter studies at major U.S. and European medical centers on the relationship between mind and brain during clinical death. The results of these studies may not only revolutionize the medical care of critically ill patients and the scientific study of the mind and brain, but may also bear profound universal implications for our understanding of death and what happens when we die.

i can't believe that so far there have only been viewed by 2,438 views. it is a revolutionary scientific approach to nde's. this can alter science in so many ways. and sam parnia's study is so simple. i'm chomping at the bit to get the results.
Well, why would it be interesting when most of the people are indoctrinated there is nothing after death, a purposeless universe, etc. We have to thank Dawkins, Dennett etc for this. But don't worry, there are also enough people who opened their minds to see the whole image of reality without the activist components of atheism and even religion. Cheers man
