The Near-Death Experience Research Foundation (NDERF) is an organization dedicated to studying near-death experiences (NDEs). Founded in 2000, it collects and analyzes personal accounts from individuals who have had NDEs, aiming to understand the phenomenon and its implications for consciousness and life after death. NDERF provides a platform for people to share their experiences and offers resources for researchers and the public. The foundation's website features a database of NDE accounts, articles, and research findings, contributing to the broader field of parapsychology and the study of consciousness.
