Washington: Death is such a thing in human life, from which no one has survived till date. There has always been a question in the mind of scientists that when a person moves towards death, what happens in his diiman. Scientists have discovered the answer to this question that has been harassed for centuries. For the first time, neuroscientists have recorded the activity of a dying man’s brain. It is found that before dying, a person can see what has happened in his life. This is called ‘Life Review’. Such people who reached very close to death have experienced such things. Such people told that they have seen their entire life passing in front of their eyes in one stroke.

Scientists did this research on an 87 -year -old patient, who had a heart attack. Doctors had installed a device on his head, so that the activities of the brain could be monitored. Just before the patient’s death, neurocystics recorded a mental activity of about 900 seconds. This revealed them that what happened 30 seconds before the heartbeat stopped and 30 seconds after stopping? Research found that brain waves were active before and after death. Especially those parts that protect memories. Dr. Ajmal Jamer of Kentaki University said, ‘The brain probably remembers the important events of life once again before dying. As stated in experience close to death.

How was research done?
The study, which took place on human mind just before the death, was published in the Frontier in Azing Neuroscience Journal in 2022. The patient who was chosen by the scientists was Canada and they were undergoing treatment for epilepsy. Doctors placed an EEG device on their head, which records the waves of the brain. The patient later died due to heart attack. But the machine continued to record his mental activities. This device is connected to the skull through the electrode which detects the waves of the brain and enhances them.

Minds himself before death
According to reports, Dr. Jamer says that just before and after the heart stops, we saw changes in the gamma osulation of the brain. This is related to remembering the waves. Brain waves are patterns of electrical signs present in the mind of a living person, which show different mental functions and state of consciousness. Scientists believe that the brain probably prepares itself while moving towards death and recalls important events of life again. Dr. Jamer said, ‘Spiritally it is a peace that a person remembers his good moments before dying.’
