Near-death experiences collected after 1975 differ from those collected before only in more frequent reports of tunnel phenomena, a feature that may not be integral to the experience. The other 14 features described by Moody as characteristic of near-death experiences did not change. These findings challenge the idea that cultural models substantially shape near-death experience accounts.
