One study suggested that people are aware at least several minutes after their clinical death.
Scientists at the University of Southampton have found evidence in a study involving more than 2,000 people who suffered from cardiac arrest and successfully responded to their resuscitation.
The study was conducted in 15 hospitals in the United Kingdom, United States and Austria and is one of the largest of its kind.
According to the Birmingham Mail, Dr. Sam Parnia was one of the scientists who conducted the research.
The AWARE document – AWAreness during Resuscitation – a prospective study, found that heart attack survivors "generally had a wide range of cognitive themes, with 2% of them showing complete awareness."
This supports other studies that have indicated that consciousness may be present despite a clinically undetectable awareness – or clinical death to say it simply.
These 2% of patients reported being aware and able to remember to "see" and "hear" real events related to their resuscitation.
Additional research required
These results were published in 2014 and Dr. Parnia is continuing his research.
S addressing the Skeptiko website, he said: "The evidence we have so far suggests that people may have mental activity after their death and cardiac arrest.
"What is fascinating in this aspect of the work is that people describe some elements that are somewhat subjective.
"For example, people will describe having seen a bright light, then a tunnel, and then they can describe seeing deceased parents who welcome them almost throughout the process of death and comfort them.
"But these things are really not scientifically verifiable because they are subjective.
"However, a group of people say they can see doctors and nurses working on them and that they can describe in detail what happened to them.
"I have already studied hundreds of cases, like many others.
"Part of what we wanted to do was set up an experiment that would objectively test the assertions of people in case of cardiac arrest, if they claimed to be able to attend the resuscitation because we do not know for the moment if are correct.
"In other words, do people really see things from the ceiling, or is it a kind of illusion, that's really what it was."
