scientists were able to see what happened during the 15 minutes before he died and found an increase in brain activity during the 30 seconds before and after his final heartbeat.These waves, known as gamma oscillations, are linked to things like memory retrieval, meditation and dreaming which suggests we could enter a peaceful dreamlike state just before we die.However, experts also believe that it could mean that our best moments play in our minds over and over again during our final minute of life, making the process feel less bleak.Dr Ajmal Zemmar, a neurosurgeon at the University of Louisville, who organised the study, said: "Through generating oscillations involved in memory retrieval, the brain may be playing the last recall of important life events just before we die, similar to the ones reported in near-death experiences."These findings challenge our understanding of when exactly life ends and generate important subsequent questions, such as those related to the timing of organ donation."The study, published in Frontiers in Aging Neuroscience, said: "Our data provide the first evidence from the dying human brain in a non-experimental, real-life acute care clinical setting and advocate that the human brain may possess the capability to generate coordinated activity during the near-death period."This is the first and only case study of the phenomenon and the brain has already been injured due to epilepsy.
