"Study reveals link between near-death experiences and post-death brain activity"

A new study led by Dr. Sam Parnia, an NYU Langone Health intensive care physician, has found that near-death experiences (NDEs) are associated with brain activity after the heart stops and breathing ceases. The study involved measuring electrical activity in the brains of patients undergoing resuscitation attempts, and although only a small percentage of patients were successfully revived, those who reported NDEs described consistent experiences such as a sense of separation, life review, and encountering a divine being. The study's findings challenge the notion that NDEs are mere hallucinations and suggest that consciousness may persist even after clinical death. However, some experts have criticized the study's conclusions, highlighting the need for further research in this area.
