The Division of Perceptual Studies (DOPS) is a research unit within the Department of Psychiatry and Neurobehavioral Sciences at the University of Virginia Health System. The research faculty of the Division are known internationally for their expertise and research integrity in the investigation of phenomena relevant to the nature of consciousness and its relationship to the physical world.
DOPS was founded at UVA in 1967 by the late Dr. Ian Stevenson as a result of a generous donation from Xerox inventor Chester F. Carlson. Dr. Stevenson passed away in 2007. For 35 years, he served as the Director of the Division and held the Chester F. Carlson Professor of Psychiatry Chair. Upon Dr. Stevenson’s retirement in 2002, Dr. Bruce Greyson, the long-time editor of the Journal of Near-Death Studies, was appointed Director of the Division. Upon Dr. Greyson’s retirement, Dr. Jim Tucker became the director of DOPS in the fall of 2014.
