Parnia et al. recently published suggestions for the study of death and experiences recalled in a near-death context. We have serious reservations about the authors' statements. In this commentary, we discuss the omissions and knowledge gaps inherent to the authors' paper, which among others include incorrect neurological claims about brain death and misunderstandings regarding the terminology of consciousness. Although we believe that (near-)death research deserves a framework guideline, the paper by Parnia and colleagues is misleading and, contrary to the authors' intention, hinders the scientific understanding of near-death experiences and the neural mechanisms occurring in the dying brain.
帕尼亚等人最近发表了关于濒死情境下死亡及回忆体验研究的建议。我们对作者的陈述持有严重保留意见。在这篇评论中，我们讨论了作者论文中固有的疏漏和知识空白，其中包括关于脑死亡的错误神经学论断以及对意识术语的误解。尽管我们认为（濒）死研究值得有一个框架性指南，但帕尼亚及其同事的论文具有误导性，且与作者意图相反，阻碍了对濒死体验及垂死大脑中发生的神经机制的科学理解。
