The human brain can function after "clinical death", which means we are "trapped" in a corpse – study | 1 NEWS NOW

A new American university study indicates that the human brain can continue to function for a short time after our death, which means that you know you are dead.

A team of researchers from the School of Medicine at Stony Brook University in New York, led by Dr. Sam Parnia, came to this conclusion by studying cases of cardiac arrest in Europe and the United States .

according to The daily mail, research shows that some people who survived a heart attack can accurately remember what was going on around them while they were "clinically dead" before being revived.

According to Dr. Parnia, once your heart stops beating and your body movements fail, you can still experience a form of consciousness.

Which means that you are essentially "trapped" in your dead body, your brain still working for a short time.

There is also evidence that the deceased could even be told by a doctor.

Addressing LiveScience, Dr. Parnia described a typical scene described by survivors of cardiac arrest in his study.

"They will describe having watched doctors and nurses work, they will be aware of being aware of whole conversations, visual things going on, which otherwise would not be known to them.

"He [the time a patient is declared dead] is based on the moment when the heart stops. Technically, that's how you get the moment of death, "he said.

The moment of death is announced when the heart stops, leading to the almost immediate cessation of brain function, says Dr. Parnia.

However, according to Dr. Parnia, brain cells can remain active for several hours afterwards.

"If you manage to restart the heart, as the resuscitation attempts, you will gradually begin to operate the brain.

"The more you practice CPR, the pathways of brain brain death continue to occur – they occur at a slightly slower pace.

"What tends to happen is that people who have gone through those very deep experiences can come back positively transformed," says Dr. Parnia.

According to the Daily Mail, "the purpose of his research is to improve the quality of resuscitation and prevent brain damage when restarting the heart."
