Abstract
Bering and colleagues have shown that many people, regardless of their explicit afterlife beliefs, entertain the possibility of postmortem consciousness. In a pair of pre-registered, well-powered online studies, we show that this phenomenon is immune to tangible "evidence" of death (an image of a real corpse).
