Commissar SFLUFAN Posted March 4, 2022 Share Posted March 4, 2022 First-ever scan of a dying human brain reveals life may actually 'flash before your eyes' | Live Science WWW.LIVESCIENCE.COM The accidental finding was made when a man suddenly died during a routine brain scan. Quote After an elderly patient died suddenly during a routine test, scientists accidentally captured unique data on the activity in his brain at the very end of his life: During the 30 seconds before and after the man's heart stopped, his brain waves were remarkably similar to those seen during dreaming, memory recall and meditation, suggesting that people may actually see their life "flash before their eyes" when they die. The phenomenon of replaying past memories when you die has been reported by some people who have had near-death experiences. But this is the first scientific evidence that this "flash" might be real. However, as this is the only case study, it is impossible to make further assumptions about how common the phenomenon may be or what the experience may be like. Researchers made the startling discovery in 2016 while studying the brain activity in an 87-year-old Canadian man who had developed epilepsy. The team was performing an electroencephalogram (EEG) — a test that detects abnormalities in the electrical activity of the brain — to learn more about what was happening during his seizures. That's when the man suffered a sudden and fatal heart attack. The patient's unexpected death meant that the team had accidentally made the first-ever recording of a dying brain, the researchers said in a statement.

legend Posted March 4, 2022 Share Posted March 4, 2022 Activity in memory brain regions != life flashing before your eyes. My (and everyone's) memory regions are frequently active for all kinds of incredibly mundane events. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

This is classic media attempting to report science in such a way that really sucks. Google was suggesting articles from this site for me non-stop for a while and this is their entire deal, had to block it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
