Welcome to Prof. OHKADO Masayuki's Page

I am a Professor at Chubu Universit, Japan (Graduate School of Genearl Humanistics, School of General Education).

My research interests are: (i) the nature of consciousnes, especially its survival after the bodily death; (ii) the role of language in relation to consciousness (or thought); (iii) children with past-life memories; (iv) near-death experiences; (v) and other paranormal experiences; and (vi) how the knowledge of these paranormal phenomena can affect our way of life.
