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

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

The clinical study, which has approvals from the relevant evaluation bodies, such as the Malaga Provincial Research Ethics Committee of the Health Department of the Andalusian Health Service, and the Ethics Committees of the participating hospitals (which ensure the well-being and rights of the study participants), will recruit subjects who are survivors of cardiac arrest in whom the presence (or not) of memories during the arrest will be studied. The Light Project will evaluate medical, physiological, pharmacological, psychological or cultural correlations of the participating subjects with the reported experiences and memories.

To this end, the Icloby Foundation, as Research Promoter, has international leaders in the field of consciousness, such as Dr. Pim van Lommel, forming part of a scientific advisory board, as well as a local study management team: medical, clinical operations, data management and administrative. The collection of data generated during the research, remote data management, in situ data monitoring and statistical methods used in the Light Project will use procedures and quality standards common in Clinical Research to ensure the robustness of the conclusions drawn from the research.

And, of course, the participating hospitals, with their 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 healthcare teams who are regularly in contact with subjects who have survived cardiac arrest and who are interested in research in the field of NDEs to contact us at: ecm.hospitales@icloby.org

We are also collecting NDE data from all those people who have had them and want to tell us, to do 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

1.- Personal and contact information
Maximum 1500 characters.

We need volunteers, students and scientists to help us research neuroscience and, in turn, awaken interest in the search for consciousness.

If you are of legal age, have knowledge in science and would like to share and contribute with everything you know, in addition to collaborating with the LUZ PROJECT: EMPIRICAL EVIDENCE AND TESTIMONY: INTERNATIONAL PROSPECTIVE STUDY OF NEAR-DEATH EXPERIENCES (NDE) IN PATIENTS SURVIVORS OF CARDIAC ARREST (EP-NDE), sign up.

PROFESSIONAL BACKGROUND

The Terminal lucidity, refers to an improvement cognitive which occurs shortly before a dying person dies. In many cases it comes to disconcerting those close to the person, since they consider this improvement as a recovery from an agonizing process and they tend to be moments of full awareness, of peace where patients even get to say goodbye and console their families in the face of their imminent departure with complete lucidity.

If you have witnessed an episode of TERMINAL LUCIDITY, you can contribute to our research by completing the following “online” questionnaire (or sending it to whoever you think may have witnessed one): https://northampton.onlinesurveys.ac.uk/terminal-lucidity-survey-espanolhttps://northampton.onlinesurveys.ac.uk/terminal-lucidity-survey

This is the FIRST WORLD STUDY in CHILDREN about terminal lucidity. You will be asked questions about what you witnessed, the circumstances of the death of the person who had the Terminal Lucidity episode, as well as the psychological impact of witnessing it on spiritual beliefs and attitudes toward life, death, and consciousness. Here you have more information about the research and the international team of scientists carrying it out: https://www.terminallucidityresearch.ac.nz/who-we-are

Thank you very much for your collaboration.
