Data is not stored in the brain, I believe this because no data has been found in the brain. We keep going in circles saying the same thing in different words. The brain was dead in the video yet all these things where heard and seen by the patient and verified by the doctor. There are more of these videos, a lot more. It's a no-starter to keep pushing the brain as something intelligent. Why not the kidney, or liver. People live after the death of their body, that is a fact. I call what lives "the spirit" so if you can't change that with real evidence why keep trying.
I am no expert about the brain anatomy or brain physiology, but you talking about “data” being stored in brain, the part of brain that associated with memory...whatever that part of the brain is called.
But it really depends on what you mean by “data”. I can only assume you are talking about something learned, information, or something experienced. These information or experiences stored in memory.
From what I understand memory are formed through forming connection between neurons in the memory part of brain (help me out here...), and I believe this “connection” is called “synapse”.
These synapses allow for transmitting pulses (or signals or information) from one neuron to the other neuron.
And from what I can tell, these neurons are special types of cells, but they are cells nonetheless.
Memory through interconnection of neurons aren’t the only one that the brain controlled; the brain also controlled our motor functions and our sensory perceptions (eg what we see, hear, smell or touch), through the connections (synapses) of the neurons.
As I understand it, what you called “data”, the memory neurons are still in the brain.
When a person’s died, under normal circumstances, the brain does die, and if the brain don’t restart, don’t restart the heart and lungs to function, to get those blood pumping, for the blood to supply the brain with needed oxygen, then the cells, like the neurons will actually start to die.
As I understand it, the heart need electrical current or electrical pulses to cause heart’s action of pumping the blood throughout the body. These pulses come the nerve, from the electrical synapses.
My points are the electrical synapses will have stopped in the brain, but these electrical synapses in the brain, spinal cord and nerves, can all be restarted by the chemical synapses.
The pulses that are transmitted from neurons to neurons via the synapses, those pulses aren’t just “electrical”, chemical synapses also function, I believed these chemical synapses are referred to as neurotransmitters.
During emergency, medical staff often connect electrodes on the surface of person’s chest, that are connected to ECG machine that measure the electrical activity of the heart. They don’t normally connect electrodes to person’s head to device that can measure brain activity, because people in ER are trying to get the heart working and the breathing working. And even if you have machine connected to the head, it will only measure the electrical activities, not the chemical activities, not the chemical synapses.
My points are when a person have NDE experience, their brain cells or neurons are not dead. As long as neurotransmitters or chemical synapses are still connected, then memory or “data” should remain intact, or mostly intact, if the synapses did die when deprived of oxygen.
Here is computer analogy. The hard disk drive store data on the disk, where the data can be written and read by reading the magnetic fields stored on the disk. You stored data are still there even when you disconnect the drive from the computer, and reconnect it months or years later. It need to power up the computer to read off the drive.
Likewise, as long as the neurons or brain cells don’t die, the brain can retrieve data from memory, because the synapses are still connecting the neurons together in neural network of our brain.
Anyway, the brain are far more complex than any computer storage devices.
But I would suggest that you ask someone who know biology better than me, about neurons and synapses and brain biology.
But what you do need to know, that there are chemical synapses - not just electrical synapses - that can pass pulses between neurons.
Lastly, there are no evidence that spirit and soul exist, and you possibly know that memory or person’s consciousness and emotion reside in the soul or spirit.
But there are evidence that chemical imbalance in the brain, brain damage or head trauma can affect a person’s memory, emotion and consciousness. Also some medication and drugs can also affect normal brain functions. These are definitely evidence that brain, not soul or spirit, are where information stored.
