The latest research may help explain near-death experiences, such as out-of-body experiences, that many people report.
The study involved four comatose patients whose life support systems were turned off during cardiac arrest and whose brain activity was measured using electroencephalographic sensors.
Two patients showed increased gamma wave activity associated with lucid dreams and hallucinations even after cardiac arrest. This suggests that consciousness may persist throughout the death process, leading to sleep-like experiences.
The lead author of the study, Jimo Borzhigin, believes that the results of his studies provide valuable neuro-features of consciousness of a person as close as possible to death.
He also acknowledges that more data from dying human brains is needed to further study this phenomenon.
