Until today, many people claimed that they left their bodies and went to another place when they were close to death. Most experts called these experiences ‘hallucinations’ or ‘illusions’. Some scientific researchers suggest that it may actually be something else.
Scientists from various medical departments, including neurosciences, intensive care, psychiatry, and psychology, came to a number of scientific conclusions after examining unexplained phenomena involving the higher state of consciousness.
The main finding is that these events don’t have much in common with the experiences of someone who is hallucinating or taking a psychedelic drug.
Scientists can actually detect the physical changes that occur in the brain when someone is close to death. found the presence of gamma activity and events like sudden electric shocks while people technically died. When the researchers measured this using an electroencephalography (EEG), they found it was a sign of a heightened state of consciousness.
Thanks to advances in medicine over the past century, countless people have been brought back from the brink of death. Many of these patients had not been thoroughly investigated until now, but many returned with stories of unexplained events.
Cardiopulmonary resuscitation (CPR) showed us that death is not an absolute condition, but rather a process that is potentially reversible in some people, even after it has started. What has led to the scientific study of death is the irreversible damage of brain cells minutes after oxygen deprivation when the heart stops. Instead, they ‘die’ within hours. This allows scientists to objectively study the physiological and mental events that occur in connection with death.”
