A group of researchers carried out an experiment to find out what a person feels hours or days before dying,

Death is one of the situations that generates the most questions throughout our lives, since there are still many unknowns on this subject and many of which, surely, we will never be able to answer.
Among the main questions is what a person feels a few moments before dying. Research published in the new issue of Psychological Sciencefrom the Association for Psychological Science, supposedly revealed what a person feels before death.
Contrary to what we might think, The investigation carried out by six people concluded thanks to two experiments that the proximity to death is “unexpectedly positive”.
to both Groups were asked to write down their last thoughts, keeping in mind that they were going to die shortly following. In patients with ALS, according to the study, the messages were clearly positive, something similar happened with those who were sentenced to death.
To compare these writings, the researchers used another group of people who did not have any conditions and who simply had to imagine that their death was coming. Unlike what happened with the prisoners and the patients, this last group had fewer positive messages.
“These results suggest that the experience of dying, even from a terminal illness or execution, may be more enjoyable than one might imagine,” the study noted.
The researchers claimed that Human beings are highly adaptive to places and circumstances with which they are faced in the course of their lives, so we physically and mentally decide to go ahead “whether we are dying or not”.
“In our imaginations, death is lonely and meaningless, but the final posts of terminally ill patients and the last words of death row inmates are full of love, social connection and meaning,” said Kurt Gray. , one of the researchers.
In this sense and following the findings of the experiment, the Scientists emphasize the importance of society, and especially the health sector, redesigning their vision of death.
What does a person think before dying? This revealed a study
A team of neuroscientists at the University of Louisville ended up inadvertently collecting unprecedented data, all because they were doing an electroencephalography on an 87-year-old man who at that precise moment had a cardiac arrest and died.
Being a highly contingent situation and in an unusual scenario for such a sudden death, it ended up becoming a historical scientific milestone, since cerebral oscillations had never been recorded before just when the heart stops pumping oxygenated blood to the brain and said person dies, leaving a compiled brain activity before, during and following the event.
“We measured 900 seconds of brain activity around the time of death and set up a specific approach to investigate what happened in the 30 seconds before and following the heart stopped beating.”recounted the doctor and neurosurgeon at the University of Louisville Ajmal Zemmar.
Thus, he made it clear that, of the 15 minutes of the strike, which ended in the death of the patient, the data of the exact seconds of death were essential.
These oscillations are related, according to their pattern, to different aspects of the brain’s functionality, such as memories, dreams, meditation, information processing and so on. Stresses that those that were seen at the time that said man died are related to those of memory or flashbacks, Therefore, it can be said that the last brain activity before death is memory.
But you have to go slowly and understand that this was only an isolated study resulting from an unforeseen situation, which included the collection of data from a patient who suffered from various types of injuries, seizures and even encephalitis (swelling of the brain).
Due to the above, their results might not be considered one hundred percent reliable, but they are an important starting point to continue investigating what is seen before death.
