A team of scientists is studying what's after death

A team of scientists studied the experiences of people who were on the brink between life and death and drew some very interesting conclusions.

The results, as reported by Medical Xpress, were presented at theAmerican Heart Association Resuscitation Symposium in November this year.

Researchers interviewed 567 people who experienced cardiac arrest followed by cardiopulmonary resuscitation (CPR). All study participants talked about how they felt.

The results were different from dreams, visions, or hallucinations
Going into detail, as the study participants said, they experienced a sense of separation of consciousness from the body, and this occurred without side effects such as pain or agony, and they also evaluated their lives, actions, intentions and thoughts in relation to other the people.

Their latent brain activity was also tested: all recorded bursts of activity, including gamma, delta, theta, alpha, and beta waves, which lasted up to an hour after resuscitation.
Many of these impulses originate in conscious people involved in complex mental processes such as thinking, memory retrieval, and conscious perception.

It has been established that on the brink between life and death a person experiences a unique internal conscious experience
The measurable electrical signals detected of increased brain activity, along with histories of death memories, suggest that human self-awareness, like other biological functions of the body, probably does not always stop immediately with the onset of death.At the same time, as the scientists note, further research is needed to more fully determine biomarkers of a person's death memories and monitor the long-term psychological consequences after performing CPR associated with cardiac arrest.
