Brain activity in dying people is recorded for the first time

According to a paper published in the latest issue of Frontiers in Aging Neuroscience, Canadian neuroscientists documented the brain activity of an 87-year-old man at the time of his death, revealing a rapid "memory retrieval" process. This is the first time ever that near-death human brain activity has been recorded.

The team observed changes in one specific band of neural oscillations, known as "gamma oscillations," but there were also other oscillations, such as δ, θ, α, and β oscillations. This supports a theory known as "life recall," in which a dying person relives the entire life in a matter of seconds, "like a bolt of lightning before death." (Southern Metropolis Daily)
