Neuroscientists have recorded the activity of a dying human brain and discovered rhythmic brain wave patterns around the time of death that are similar to those occurring during dreaming, memory recall, and meditation. Now, a study published to Frontiers brings new insight into a possible organizational role of the brain during death and suggests an explanation for vivid life recall in near-death experiences.
So we could say that when people die, they experience a...

Total Recall
YEEEEAAAHHH!!!
I read that like it was the intro to CSI Miami
I read this on the internet (maybe erowid? Lol) forever ago so who knows: but I heard your brain releases dumb amounts of DMT right as you die, which is also a chemical your brain elicits while dreaming
Think I heard about this as well. It has to do with oxygen delivery or something. Your brain is running low on oxygen so it releases a chemical that brings it more and that chemical breaks down into DMT.
Does anyone in the bio field here know about this?
So they see their life flashing before them?
Sounds like it:
“Through generating oscillations involved in memory retrieval, the brain may be playing a last recall of important life events just before we die, similar to the ones reported in near-death experiences,” Zemmar speculated.
I can certainly see this as evolutionarily beneficial. When you're on the verge of dying and you suddenly have a recall of a lot of your experiences in life it may lead to you being able to survive.
I guess I won't since I have SDAM.
I can't believe I haven't heard of that before! I thought my memory was just ordinarily bad, but reading about it I definitely have that.
