Research work

Greyson is a researcher in the field of near-death studies and has been called the father of research in near-death experiences.[3][4] Greyson, along with Kenneth Ring, Michael Sabom, and others, built on the research of Raymond Moody, Russell Noyes Jr and Elisabeth Kübler-Ross. Greyson's scale to measure the aspects of near-death experiences[5] has been widely used, being cited over 450 times as of early 2021.[6] He also devised a 19-item scale to assess experience of kundalini, the Physio-Kundalini Scale.[7]

Greyson wrote the overview of Near Death Experiences for the Encyclopædia Britannica and was the Editor-in-Chief of the Journal of Near-Death Studies (formerly Anabiosis) from 1982 through 2007. Greyson has been interviewed or consulted many times in the press on the subject of near-death experiences.[8][9][10][11][12][13][14]
