Why After Clinical Death Consciousness Remains

Until now it was thought that "out of body experience" is the result of oxygen starvation of the brain, but it is not so simple.

Research clinical death show that consciousness does not disappear within a surprisingly large amount of time after the work of the brain is completely stopped. This fact suggests that the experiences associated with clinical death - more than just a hallucination, and that the current definition of clinical death is likely to be revised.

Clinical death and "out of body experience" has long been documented. They are especially common among people who have had a heart attack. In resuscitation make statements about death, when after a certain period of time a patient is not observed neither pulse nor breathing, and the pupils are fixed and dilated. But in the very short time after the determination of death, when the electrical activity of the brain and cerebral blood flow deteriorate or expire, some people experience a wide range of subjective phenomena. Survivors reported that "saw the tunnel," experienced "sense of peace" and "feeling out of his body." All the statement is ended to give details the hallucinations, and scientific research in this area has been very little.

In an attempt to remedy this Same guy from the University of Southampton has considered a wide range of psychic experiences in a state of clinical death. And interestingly, he even checked the correctness of conscious experience, using objective markers to see whether there is a clear link postmortem experience with real events, or is it just a hallucination. His results show that the experiences are real, and that they should be taken sincerely, particularly scientists. Furthermore, it was found that some patients experience a subjective experience even three minutes after complete removal of the brain. As part of an international study Man and his team studied 2060 patients who survived clinical death. 330 of them survived. 140 of these 330 (42%) reported that during resuscitation still aware and experienced a wide range of subjective experiences.
