Dr. Robert Kuhn highlights the work of DOPS in his latest publication which outlines >200 theories of consciousness.
Kuhn mentions, “Quite apart from the blizzard of anecdotal accounts, there have been scientific studies of NDEs, survival and past lives. Most notable, perhaps, is the work of the Division of Perceptual Studies (DOPS) at the University of Virginia School of Medicine.”
He goes on to say, “[DOPS] has contributed both empirically and conceptually to emerging nonphysical theories of consciousness, which picture mind as irreducible and grounded in some sort of highest consciousness which forms the ontological foundation of reality as a whole.”
In the article, Dr. Kuhn discusses the many contributions of several DOPS members, including: Dr. Ian Stevenson on children who report past-life memories, Dr. Bruce Greyson on near-death experiences, and Dr. Edward Kelly on theoretical work of consciousness.
