Scientists Recorded the Brain Activity of a Person as They Died, and the Results Are Astonishing

The brain activity of a dying person was revealed in a new first-of-a-kind paper.

The scientists were studying the brain waves of an 87-year-old patient for seizure with anEEG device.

The patient had a heart attack and died during the study. The researchers were able to record 15 minutes of brain activity of a dying person.

The researchers found that there was an increase in brain waves that occur during dreaming. They suggested that a person who is dying might have a glimpse of their life before their eyes.

According to the University of Louisville, the brain may be playing a last recall of important life events just before we die.

Zemmar said that this gives insight into an enigmatic and frightening moment that all of us will experience eventually, but could even offer better understanding of the timing of organ donation.

The doctor said that the findings challenge our understanding of when life ends.

There are some big things. The paper only looked at one case. The patient had a history of seizures and brain swelling.

The brain activity of dying rats has been shown to have similar activity. It could be that this is a natural occurrence.

Zemmar said that the insights gathered from the patient can offer a bit of hope andclosure to families who are dealing with the death of a loved one.

Zemmar said that we may learn from this research that our loved ones have their eyes closed and are ready to leave us, but their brains may be replaying some of the nice moments they experienced in their lives.

Does our life flash before our eyes when we die? There is a frontier in aging neuroscience.

Some cells in your brain become active after you die.
