The Icloby Foundation disseminates and generates knowledge to improve the world in which we live. In this sense, and in the realm of human consciousness, the Foundation promotes first multicenter international prospective study in Spanish of Near-Death Experiences (ECM): the light project.
An NDE is a special state of consciousness that occurs during an actual or impending period of physical death.. Although there are various scientific investigations on the nature of NDEs, clear knowledge gaps remain, Therefore, it is necessary to position in an investigation at an international level whose scientific rigor guarantees the veracity of the data collected and the consequent conclusions of the investigation..

The light project consists of an ambitious clinical investigation that, taking as reference the previous study led by Doctors Pim van Lommel, Ruud van Wees e Ingrid Efferich and 2001 in the Netherlands, aims to reproduce said research in a different sociocultural environment (becoming the most important study ever conducted in Spanish-speaking countries) in order to compare and expand the results.

the clinical study, that has the approvals of the relevant evaluation bodies, such as the Málaga Provincial Research Ethics Committee of the Ministry of Health of the Andalusian Health Service, and as the Ethics Committees of the participating hospitals (that look after the well-being and rights of study participants), will recruit surviving subjects of cardiac arrest in whom the presence of (o no) of memories during the same. The Light Project will evaluate medical correlations, physiological, pharmacological, psychological or cultural aspects of the participating subjects with the reported experiences and memories.

For that end, the Icloby Foundation, as Research Promoter, It has international references in the field of consciousness, like dr. Pim van Lommel, serving on a scientific advisory board, as well as a local studio management team: doctor, clinical operations, data and administrative management. The collection of data generated during the investigation, remote data management, on-site data monitoring and statistical methods used in the Luz Project, they will use usual procedures and quality standards in Clinical Research to ensure the robustness of the conclusions drawn from the research.

Y, of course, participating hospitals, with whose research teams led by a cardiologist, intensivist, internist, anesthetist, etc. and the participation of nurses, psychologists, and others make this research possible.

From the Icloby Foundation we encourage health teams that are in regular contact with surviving subjects of cardiac arrest and with an interest in research in the field of NDEs to get in touch at: ecm.hospitales@icloby.org

We are also collecting NDE data from all those people who have had them and want to let us know., to carry out a retrospective study this time to compile them in different countries, cultures and religions.

People who want to send their story can do so from the following form
