Unknown Brain Activity Surges in Dying People, Hinting at Consciousness
TL;DR Summary
Scientists from the University of Michigan have detected a mysterious wave of brain activity in dying people, which could be linked to near-death experiences. The activity was recorded in four patients, and it could help scientists better understand the parallels between a dying human brain and the brains of animals like rats, which have been studied before. However, the activity is not necessarily evidence of elevated conscious processing in the patients, and further research is needed.
