Do our lives actually flash before our eyes before we die?
Here's a macabre question: how long can the brain continue to process information after being severed from its body? Do we actually see our lives flash before our eyes? And how long does it take to actually lose consciousness after such a catastrophic injury?
As far as we know right now, six minutes after the heart stops, "the brain essentially dies," Thierry writes. "Then, deterioration reaches a point of no return and core consciousness — our ability to feel that we are here and now, and to recognize that thoughts we have are own own — is lost."this hypothesis, with neural activity ceasing less than a minute after consciousness is lost.
"If humans can be resuscitated after six, seven, eight or even ten minutes in extreme cases, it could theoretically be hours before their brain shuts down completely," Thierry argues. of an 87-year-old epilepsy patient for seizures. But during the study, the patient experienced a heart attack and died.suggested that some brain waves changed their patterns even after the patient had died and blood stopped flowing to the brain. In short, there's still a glint of a chance that we are in fact able to see our lives flashing before our eyes.
