I asked 499 people who were sure they *hadn't* experienced ego death, and 436 ppl who were sure they *had*, to rate 97 images on which ones they thought best represented ego death. Here's the top images disproportionately rated as egodeathy by ppl who *hadn't* had ego death 1/

Were there any age differences? I would assume that more people with near death experiences might be older, unless you consciously adjusted for that. Being older could have an impact in one’s worldview.

Cool idea for a survey. I did have a brief look at your raw data but couldn’t find any further definition of “ego death” for the people you surveyed. Just wondering… was this deliberate? I would be interested to hear how you (and others) might define it as I think it’s tricky!
