Consciousness functions after death – Utro.Ru

A group of British scientists from the University of Southampton conducted a large-scale study , according to the results of which human consciousness can function within a few minutes after the Death and the brain, reports The Telegraph.

Staff for four years studying the data of two thousand people in 15 hospitals in the UK, USA and Austria, which doctors diagnosed heart failure. Approximately 40% of the test, in the period between cardiac arrest and restart experienced “awareness” of sensations.

As an example, scientists lead the experiences described 57-year-old social worker from Southampton. According to him, during the period of clinical death, he was “out of body” and ostensibly could watch his back to life. Scholars have noted the details of his story correspond to what is actually happening in the room at that moment.

“We know that the brain can not function after the heart stops beating – said one of the authors of the studies Dr. Sam Man – But in this case, the mind seems to have continued to operate for at least three minutes, although the brain is usually turned off for 20-30 seconds after cardiac arrest “.

“The man described what was happening in the room, but it is important that he twice was able to hear the sound that beeps every three minutes – explained to the guy. – He spoke very convincingly, and all that he described really happened” .

The scientist explained that many are likely to take a similar experience for hallucinations or illusions, but the bottom line is that patients, according to Man, “it seems, did send to the events that have taken place “.

According to Dr. Man, he hoped that further research will help to understand that actually happens to human consciousness after death.
