I was reading this earlier about what happens to brain activity after declared clinically dead.
I've never believed near death experiences as spiritually connected. I feel unusual and mysterious experiences are purely mind and brain oriented. Though, for some reason seeing it from the mind and brain devalues the nature and described meaning of the events. I don't know why, but things like soul, consciousness, god, and spirit never set right with me because it assumes that there is a special seperating between nature and reality and the rest of the world. Having epilepsy made me see things are just not that way.
Approximately 20 percent of cardiac arrest survivors report having had a near-death experience. These visions and perceptions have been called “realer than real,” according to previous research, but it remains unclear whether the brain is capable of such activity after cardiac arrest.
“We reasoned that if near-death experience stems from brain activity, neural correlates of consciousness should be identifiable in humans or animals even after the cessation of cerebral blood flow,” she says.
This study tells us that reduction of oxygen or both oxygen and glucose during cardiac arrest can stimulate brain activity that is characteristic of conscious processing,” says Borjigin. “It also provides the first scientific framework for the near-death experiences reported by many cardiac arrest survivors.”
