Greetings,

I am a practicing physician with interests in death and dying: the process of dying, the physiological steps involved. I find the Buddhist Stages of Dying very evocative and am looking for the biology that is involved in generating these experiences. What specific triggers exist?

Consciousness studies, apoptosis, emergent behaviors, meditation, habits, more, all seems to be relevant. Near death reports, OOB experiences, perceptual transference, and more, as they relate to the process.
