Yes, it does, according to Dr Ajmal Zemmar, who was at the time based
in Vancouver when they found out for sure.

Dr Ajmal Zemmar, a co-author of the study, said that what the team,
then based in Vancouver, Canada, accidentally got, was the first-ever
recording of a dying brain.

Full story here.

After reading this, I got to thinking about it and things that have been
reported over the years.

Some say that a cloud like thing leaves the body when we die, I think
that this is the "Soul" and it probably lives in the Brain, so when the body
is no longer any use, the "Soul" gathers all the information that is stored
in the brain and takes it away, this might explain the "life flashing past"
when we die!

The notion of one’s life flashing before their eyes as they die is similar to the report of a “life review” that some have experienced who have reported near-death experiences, then recovering.

If my life ever flashes before my eyes, I’d find it boring, painful, and filled with “if only” moments. I’d probably try to change the channel! 😆
 
LOL, Fyrefox. Well, they say it only lasts about 60 seconds so we wont have time to change the channel or go get a snack. One article made it sound like it would be our happiest memories so I'm going with that ...when I got my first dog ... when my son was born... boom, The End..
 

When I was very sick and going through Chemotherapy for Breast Cancer I had lost quite a bit of weight and each day that passed, I really didn't know if it would be my last during the worst of it. I am not sure if I experienced this life flash, but I do remember a lot of times just laying there thinking of things from my past that had happened. I think for me at least what this gave me was strength that I was not done yet. I was at a pretty low point at my life, but seeing what I had accomplished I knew there had to be more.

Interesting. By the way, I looked at your photo for the first time (I mean really looked at it, not glanced at it.) You are very beautiful, and I think what you have been through adds to your external and internal beauty. I don't mean that in any sort of cheesy way so please don't take it amiss. You have added a lot to SF!

Thank You so much. That is so nice of you to say. You have put a great big :) on my face.
 
In 2011…sitting in my lazy boy chatting with my daughter , I had a complete cardiac arrest..also called clinical death, because of my daughter’s quick action I was resuscitateD…5 broken ribs and a defibrillator implant I survived..(guess you figured that much) anyway, all I recall is looking down and seeing paramedics tending to my body, all was like in the old movies…black and white…I also saw my middle son standing beside a long tunnel…that is all I recall…because my brain was without oxygen, although briefly,I have problems with my concentration …but I am fortunate..and seeing my life flash before me I would have woken up completely ticked.
 
Since NO ONE has ever died and then come back to life, NO ONE can describe the experience. Near death experiences do not qualify because near death is not actual death.

Even if "life flashing before your eyes" is a real thing is some circumstances, it cannot be a universal event at death. Many deaths are instantaneous, such as death in combat or in accidents, leaving no time to experience anything. People comatose for a long while before dying, can't experience anything either, since there is no brain activity.

Clinical death is the cessation of blood circulation and breathing..I must have super powers to be believed I was still alive…there are two kinds of deaths..the kind where you are totally incapable of being revived or as in my case, with heart stimulation I was revived,,without it I was a goner! I asked two cardiologists if indeed I was dead..they both answered yes..guess they should have asked you…😁😁
 
I've studied much recent neuroscience and promote the hypothesis of mind in animal life as EMF brainwaves within organic container impedances. The actual link shows the researcher related:

"This could possibly be a last recall of memories that we've experienced in life, and they replay through our brain in the last seconds before we die."

That is a long ways beyond what "Life Flash Before Your Eyes as you Die" usually tends to mean. Instead it means SOME thoughts may still be within a human's aware consciousness in last moments before our electromagnetic brain wave fields cease. The rest in that news article is usual mumbo jumbo non-science for the sake of a science ignorant audience.

At age 20 years, after suffering a splenic artery pseudoaneurysm that later resulted in splenic infarcts, ischemic pancreatitis, and retro paritoneal infections the rest of my adult life, I was as close to reaching brain dead as imaginable as my inner mind became strangely detached from my outer sensory body. Our minds are inner brain models of the external world. I did feel a vague immense presence that may have been an Ultimate Intelligent Entity UIE. No life flashing across my awareness but rather made a unique deal that has amazingly come to pass.

Totally agree. Dead people don't come back to life. Yes, there are life sustaining biological systems, which can fail, and then be revived, but once the brain has died, there is no coming back. They did some studies about near death experiences, and what was reported had more to do with local religious beliefs, and local customs. You'll be amazed that so few Muslims meet Christ during a near death experience.
 
Well I read the article and they stated that people who
had died and came back experienced this, also during
the tests that they were doing on the epileptic man at
the time he had a heart attack, the brain patterns start,
30 seconds before the event and carry on for30 seconds
after it.

They can't of course see any images, only their own test
equipment, so maybe the patient was really dreaming.

I don't think anybody knows.

However one day we will all get the chance to find out...

The article said

"A team of scientists set out to measure the brainwaves of an 87-year-old patient who had developed epilepsy. But during the neurological recording, he suffered a fatal heart attack - offering an unexpected recording of a dying brain.

"It revealed that in the 30 seconds before and after, the man's brainwaves followed the same patterns as dreaming or recalling memories."

So maybe this was a chance to find out, and they did. The article said the old man had epilepsy, though. So maybe he was actually seizing but his brain wasn't triggering muscle spasms. I expect there will be future studies on people who don't have any type of brain disorder.

It's been many years since I read a book ...can't remember the title... about near death experiences, but I remember( specifically because of its absence) no mention of specific religious details. People described a "bright light" "tunnel with a light at the end" "overwhelming sense of love" or in a few cases darkness and dread but no specific sectarian diety.

Maybe, but I am not sure the "brainwaves" necessarily mean life flashing before one's eyes. It might, but might not.

They got images of activity in the region of that guy's brain that they know has something to do with memory - in patients with memory disorders, that region shows less activity or abnormal activity or whatever. But I've never seen any report or article saying doctors know exactly what that activity is. In other words, is it recall? Does it create images in the person's mind? I don't know if scientists and doctors know these details. And I doubt the doctors who authored this study know if the old guy's brain was performing an actual function or just lighting up as part of the brain's death throws, if you know what I mean.

I do hope there are more studies. It's interesting to me.

That is a really good theory, Mike I like it.
