Scientists from Canada observed the brain activity of a dying patient.

They found out that before his death, life “flashed” through the man’s head.

The study was conducted using electroencephalography, writes LADbible .

This method made it possible to record the activation of neurons responsible for memory, recognition and attention.

The specialists monitored an 87-year-old man using EEG. During the study, the patient suffered a heart attack and respiratory arrest.

At this point, scientists detected an increase in gamma oscillations in the brain.

These rhythmic electrical impulses plan the work of neurons and are associated with mental functions.

Scientists believe this may mean that the brain is replaying important memories before death.

Scientists believe that a dying person may have seen his life flash before his eyes.

At this point, the generation of oscillations associated with memory retrieval may indicate the brain's ability to reconstruct the most significant events.
