Discover why people "see a light" to die

A study of the behavior of rats dying discovered that just before his death, the activity of your brain waves grows enormouslyAccording to American scientists who carried out the research, this sudden recorded activity explains the higher levels of consciousness experienced by humans before die. "Many people thought that clinical death after the brain is inactive or less active than in the waking state, but definitely it is not so ", explains Dr. Jimo Borjigin, University of Michigan, who led the research. "In fact, it is much more active while dying than during wakefulness, "he adds. From the view of light approaching on the horizon , to the experimentation ofextracorporeal sensations, stories abound of people who, to save himself from death by a miracle, crossing rare experiences. Research shows that the brain activity of rats multiply in the 30 seconds after that the heart stops beating. This effect in humans is what can explain the strange visions that have have had those who returned from death"The fact that they see a light may indicate that the visual cortex of the brain is very active , and we have enough evidence to suggest that this is what happens, because we found an increase in brain areas that are above the visual cortex "explains Borjigin. Anyway, the scientist indicates that these experiments would be necessary to test in people who are on the brink of death and back to confirm the hypothesis.
