near death experience just spiked electrical activity in brain

Or it might be said the other way round. Electrical activity in brain is just a sign that's shown when near death experience takes place, which's just a tip of the iceberg. Brain needs to work more actively to enable NDE to happen but you can't simply draw an "=" between them imho. Like the room gets warmer because of the fire in the fireplace, but you can't just assume that it was the heat of the room that lighted up the fire there in the first place

thanks for posting this..I've personally known about this for quite some time...the part quoted below really intrigued me and I'm a firm believer...these gamma oscillations I need to study more about...even in the tiniest of forms they remind me of gamma bursts as result of the cosmic gamma ray burst from a hypernova....these are some of the most magnificent spectacles in the universe but they all lead to a Super Intellect (God) that exists in a different dimension in my world view. and please don't start with the I'm not black mess because I have a keen interest in astronomy and physics, and white water rafting...:toast


In the 30-second period after the animal's hearts stopped beating, they measured a sharp increase in high-frequency brainwaves called gamma oscillations.

These pulses are one of the neuronal features that are thought to underpin consciousness in humans, especially when they help to "link" information from different parts of the brain.


In the rats, these electrical pulses were found at even higher levels just after the cardiac arrest than when animals were awake and well.

Dr Borjigin said it was feasible that the same thing would happen in the human brain, and that an elevated level of brain activity and consciousness could give rise to near-death visions.

It spikes when the soul leaves the body, a surge of electrical current as the soul leaves the body. All warm blooded creatures have souls.
