| Abstract | dc.description.abstract | We discuss the phylogenetic basis of states of consciousness,
and present the central theses of monism and dualism, in which near-death
experiences (NDEs) enjoy very different ontological statuses. Next, we summarize
the evolution of the genus Hamo, with emphasis on neuroanatomical
changes, and define brain and consciousness states. Data suggest that consciousness
states are produced by brain states. We address the problem of
states of consciousness in other species because consciousness states seem
to emerge from a phylogenetic continuum, and analyze problems connected
with verbal reports of internal experiences. Finally, we examine NDEs as
brain states/consciousness states, and conclude that we need further study
of elements appearing in each NDE with their order of appearance. We discuss
problems in the relationship between brain states and consciousness
states, and conclude that science does not need a paradigm shift to deal
with NDE data. | es_CL |
