You know when you die because your brain continues to function for a while

A new study reveals that you may know that you passed away sometime after your death.

Researchers have discovered that you could even hear your own announced death.

The findings come amidst the emergence of the belief that you know what's going on around your corpse, reports the Birmingham Mail.

Medical experts have long debated what happens to a person's death, with anecdotal evidence of bright lights or sensations, and films such as Flatliners exploring the unknown.

People who die for medical reasons and are resuscitated are the only insights into what is happening.

Some people have experienced this experience and share the feeling of dying.

1. Like reading a book

Five years ago, monitormonkey underwent major surgery during which he bled, causing him to die for several minutes, The Mirror reported.

"I woke up in what looked like space but there were no stars or light.I did not float so to speak, I was just there.

"I was neither hot nor cold, nor hungry nor tired – it was just a kind of neutral and peaceful thing. I knew there was light and love somewhere nearby, but I had no desire or need to go immediately.

"I remember thinking about my life, but it did not look like a montage, it was more like I was leafing through a book unnecessarily and excerpts were coming here and there.

"Whatever it is, it has changed my ideas on a few things: I'm always scared to die, but I do not worry about what will happen after that."

2. A visit from a loved one

Schneidah7 was ejected from his bike while he was driving at 50 mph. He was medically dead when he was taken to the hospital. While he was lying on the road before the arrival of the ambulance, he was reminded of having encouraged him.

"I just remember being on the sidewalk and things get slowly dark and calm.

"The only reason I did not fall asleep, it's because of a weird moment when I heard someone screaming:" Put away the candy. " *** Go go dude, get up Get up!

"Then, someone slapped my helmet (which was actually very hard on the head).

"When I opened my eyes, I saw my brother squatting on the sidewalk next to me." It was strange because my brother had died of an overdose there many years ago.

"The only other thing I can remember is that he peeked at his watch and said something like," They'll be here soon, "then to s & # 39; 39; away.

"I would like to be able to give more details, but honestly, I do not remember much of the incident and I still have memory problems due to the accident."

3. a garden

While many users described their "death" as a void, IDiedForABit had a very different experience after an allergic reaction that caused a heart failure.

"I remember a feeling of being sucked upside down very slowly, as if I was being pulled into the water and the darkness was gradually fading away.

"At one point, he disappeared and I was looking at a garden.

"It was not filled with flowers, just dust and uneven grass." There was a playground with a carousel in the middle and two kids running around it, a boy and a girl.

"It's hard to describe, but I feel like I could choose to leave or stay, but every time I tried to go back, I was stuck on the spot.

"I went through all the reasons I wanted to go home, and when I announced my presence, I did not want to give up on my mother, no matter what was ultimately withheld.

"I went back into my body, my heart stopped for six minutes."

4. Hitting snooze

As a teenager, TheDeadManWalks was undergoing months of chemotherapy as her nose blew uncontrollably.

Due to sepsis and Clostridium difficile infection, his condition worsened, and he came in and out of death, which he describes admirably.

"The worst thing, with hindsight, is how peaceful it can seem.

"It's like wanting to press the snooze button on your alarm clock at 7 o'clock.

"And maybe you hit him once or twice, but then you remember that you have work or studies and that sleep can wait because you still have a fucking kiss."

5. Or is it a laugh?

The contact of death with altburger69 did not stop them from making jokes.

"I had a heart attack last year and my heart stopped three times in the emergency room.

"Apparently, whenever they shocked me, I woke up (which I felt) and told the staff a different joke each time.

"No light or anything, I just had the impression of sleeping."

6. There is nothing after

As a result of a motorcycle accident, Rullknuf's breathing and pulse stopped and he became "crampon and stiff". After two minutes, his friend managed to revive him.

"For me, it was just a power outage, no dreams, no visions, just nothing.

"Apparently, I asked more than 10 times what had happened and I said that I would be happy to be alive today."

A new study, reports the Mirror, suggests that a person's consciousness continues to function once his heart stops beating and his body movements fail.

Survivors of a cardiac arrest were aware of what was going on around them while they were "dead" – including seeing doctors trying to rescue them or hear conversations – before being "brought back to life," revealed the study.

This means that a person can even hear that doctors tell him the time of his death because it is essentially "trapped" in his body with brain function.

Dr. Sam Parnia studies consciousness after death and examines cases of cardiac arrest in Europe and the United States.

He added that anecdotal evidence had shown that people in the death phase could still feel some form of consciousness.

The expert told LiveScience that people who had survived a heart attack then accurately described what was happening around them after their heart stopped beating.

He stated: "They will describe the observation of the work of doctors and nurses, describe that they are aware of entire conversations, ongoing visual events, which they would not otherwise have. not know. "

Dr. Parnia of the New York NYU Langone School of Medicine said the accounts had been checked by doctors and nurses, who were stunned after hearing that patients remembered the details after their resuscitation.

His study examines what happens to the brain after cardiac arrest – and if consciousness persists after death and for how long – to improve the quality of resuscitation and prevent brain damage when restarting the heart.

Unlike the Flatliners plot, however, when a person is resuscitated, she does not come back with a "magical enrichment" of her memories, Dr. Parnia said.
