Limits and debate
Retrospective reports and mediumship studies are vulnerable to selection, memory, and information-leakage concerns.
This summarizes the researcher's work. It is not a finding that any theory of consciousness or survival has been proven.
Overview
Kelly published research on near-death experiences, including reports of meeting deceased people, and examined methods for mediumship research. She also co-authored Irreducible Mind and edited a collection of Ian Stevenson's writings. These works examine survival claims; they do not establish survival as a scientific conclusion.
