"Groundbreaking Study Reveals Profound Near-Death Experiences: New Dimensions of Reality Unveiled"

A groundbreaking study led by Sam Parnia, an intensive care doctor and associate professor at NYU Langone Health, has found brain patterns in dying patients that correlate with commonly reported near-death experiences (NDEs). The study observed 567 patients in 25 hospitals worldwide undergoing CPR after cardiac arrest, with EEG brain signals revealing episodes of heightened consciousness up to an hour after the arrest. While most patients were not resuscitated, 11 survivors reported awareness during CPR, and six reported a near-death experience. The findings challenge the belief that the brain dies after a few minutes of oxygen deprivation and suggest that the brain can respond and restore function even after an hour, opening up new possibilities for treatment and understanding consciousness.
