An international team of scientists has discovered unusual brain activity in an 87-year-old man who is about to die of a heart attack after a cerebral hemorrhage caused by a fall. In the 30 seconds before and after the heart stops beating, changes in some types of brain waves, including alpha and gamma brain waves; This indicates that brainwave interactions persist even after blood flow to the brain has stopped, but unfortunately, these results are based on only one person’s EEG recordings, as well as brain complications, which is prompting the researchers to investigate. Caution. Dr. Steve Taylor, a psychologist in Leeds Beckett University says, “I don’t think we can assume that this is a representative example of how the human brain on the verge of death behaves,” adding, however, that: “A review of life can actually occur when People are not physiologically close to death, there are many cases of reviewing life during a fall, for example.”
Brain scans of a dying man suggest that the “summary” of life may flow before our eyes upon death.
An international team of scientists has discovered unusual brain activity in an 87-year-old man on the verge of death from a heart attack that occurred after a cerebral hemorrhage caused by a fall.
Scientists have detected changes in some types of brain waves, including alpha and gamma brain waves, in EEG recordings in the 30 seconds before and after the heart stops beating. This suggests that brain wave reactions continue even after blood flow to the brain has stopped.
“Given that cross-coupling of alpha and gamma activity is involved in cognitive processes and memory retrieval in healthy people, it is interesting to hypothesize that this activity may support the final ‘call of life’, which can occur in the antenatal period,” so the team in the magazine Frontiers in Aging Neuroscience.
However, unfortunately, these findings are based only on EEG recordings of a single person, as well as brain complications, and this prompts researchers to be cautious.
“I don’t think we can assume that this is a representative example of how the human brain behaves on the verge of death,” says Dr. Steve Taylor, a psychologist at Leeds Beckett University, adding however: “A life review can actually happen. When people are not near death Physiologically, there are many cases of reviewing life during a fall, for example.”
It is November 2011 when Alessandro Vespignaniwho is now director of the Northeastern Network Science Institute in Boston, writes the story “real epidemic“. Ivan the Terrible It is the hypothetical nickname for the virus of pig origin that the physicist imagined, and it belongs to the H1N1 strain. The pathogen is the root cause of […]

[INGEZONDEN] The COVID-19 pandemic, which emerged about two years ago from a laboratory in Wuhan, China, has a lot to do with the impact of science. Scientists are the most intellectual and educated people on the planet, in every field and in every sector, and they continue to develop their knowledge and skills. The goal […]
