> When an 87-year-old patient developed epilepsy, Dr Raul Vicente of the University of Tartu, Estonia and colleagues used continuous electroencephalography (EEG) to detect the seizures and treat the patient. During these recordings, the patient had a heart attack and passed away. This unexpected event allowed the scientists to record the activity of a dying human brain for the first time ever.
- giantg2 5y agoDon't be snarky. It's a real question. And apparently the article has incorrect information. https://www.sciencealert.com/brain-activity-recorded-as-much-as-10-minutes-after-death-human-science https://www.sciencealert.com/brain-activity-recorded-as-much...
- Lyapunov_Lover 5y agoThere's a difference between 'after' and 'during'.
- giantg2 5y agoYes, and you can see in the graphs in my link that they were measures before, during, and after. The "0" in the x axis is the time of death.
- giuliomagnifico 5y agoThe article I quoted is correct and doesn’t have incorrect information: > Neuroscientists have recorded the activity of a dying human brain and discovered rhythmic brain wave patterns around the time of death that are similar to those occurring during dreaming, memory recall, and meditation. >NOW, a study published to Frontiers brings new insight into a possible organizational role of the brain during death and suggests an explanation for vivid life recall in near-death experiences. The record has already been done, but now the scientists have found what the -already recorded- data could tell/show. > a new study published to Frontiers in Aging Neuroscience suggests that your brain may remain active and coordinated during and even after the transition to death, and be programmed to orchestrate the whole ordeal.
