Whatever happened to an experiment in a NY hospital emergency room, where they painted some patterns on the floor, to check if patients with NDEs could remember those patterns later?

Hmmm. Never heard about that. Wouldn’t you want to paint it on, say, the tops of cabinets so that the patient wouldn’t see it when he or she was wheeled in?

Typo correction for the end of the second letter in that column: “Isn’t is easier (and even more scientific) to believe in life after death in light of such evidence?” The second word should be “it.” Thanks.
