Batthyány is the philosopher and psychologist who turned a
deathbed anecdote into a science. He ran the first modern study
of paradoxical lucidity, co-authored the field's founding
definition with Bruce Greyson, and has now collected around 450
cases of severely demented patients unexpectedly getting their
memory, speech and personality back. Victorian doctors documented
the phenomenon at length and called it "lightening up before
death"; twentieth-century medicine stopped writing it down
because there was no way to phrase it in a case study. He is now
working with a group at the Mayo Clinic to put cameras in
patients' rooms so the episodes stop being missed. In one case a
woman came back for two hours, discussed her own diagnosis, died
— and imaging taken immediately afterwards showed no change
whatsoever.SPONSORSGet One Month Free of Consensus (The Best Ai
