The scientists studied brain activity using electroencephalography (EEG), which was recorded at the time of the death of an 87-year-old epilepsy patient after a heart attack.
Scientists have found that the brain of a deceased person performs the same activities as a human brain that ‘dreams, remembers the past, or meditates‘.
While it was revealed that the brain activities of the person who died at the age of 87 continued for 15 minutes, it was noted that this development opened the curtain on what happened at the time of death.
From the research team, Dr. Ajmal Zemmar pointed out that before a person’s death, the brain can remember the important moments in a person’s life for the last time.
Zemmar pointed out that brain activity can change perceptions about when life ends and the timing of organ donation.
The results of the research were published in the journal Frontiers in the Neuroscience of Aging.
