The new science of death: ‘There’s something happening in the brain that makes no sense’ - The Guardian

Wow 🤯!!  Fascinating 🧐. Reminds me of my Dad's study of parapsychology 🙏 only this is hardcore science 👍🏼.  - Lee

"In the moments after Patient One was taken off oxygen, there was a surge of activity in her dying brain. Areas that had been nearly silent while she was on life support suddenly thrummed with high-frequency electrical signals called gamma waves. In particular, the parts of the brain that scientists consider a "hot zone" for consciousness became dramatically alive. In one section, the signals remained detectable for more than six minutes. In another, they were 11 to 12 times higher than they had been before Patient One's ventilator was removed.

Given the levels of activity and connectivity in particular regions of her dying brain, Borjigin believes it's likely that Patient One had a profound near-death experience with many of its major features: out-of-body sensations, visions of light, feelings of joy or serenity, and moral re-evaluations of one's life. 

It is the hope that by transcending the current limits of science and of our bodies, we will achieve not a deeper understanding of death, but a longer and more profound experience of life. That, perhaps, is the real attraction of the near-death experience: it shows us what is possible not in the next world, but in this one."
