Paranormal visions that arise during clinical death, occur because of the burst of brain activity Bashny.Net

Many people who have experienced clinical death, sure glimpsed the afterlife, while others argue that hovered over their own bodies, watching the doctors are fighting for their lives. But the reality could be much more prosaic.

Research in this area suggests that a collision with the "afterlife" is caused by the peak of the electrical activity in the dying brain. In rats, whose hearts have been artificially stopped, brain activity signals were eight times more intense than usual. The researchers note that the extreme activity of the brain in the first seconds after cardiac arrest has a physical, not a spiritual nature.

Previously it was thought that a dying brain is not capable of such a complex operation, so the cause of the phenomenon lies in the apparent death of the human soul: perhaps on the verge of death is something that can result in vision and sensations associated with clinical death.

One-fifth of survivors of cardiac arrest, reported their "otherworldly" experience, but, according to the meter readings at the time were actually dead. Classic vision during clinical death - the movement through a glowing tunnel apart from the body, or meeting with loved ones dead relatives or friends, or angels. Sometimes people enter into dialogue with them and hear opinions about his past life. Some people after clinical death completely changed his outlook on life - in particular, became believers.

Scientists also believe that this effect - just hallucinations caused by the effect of "turn off" the brain. Rat brain, for example, within 30 seconds after stopping the heart showed highest levels of activity. The same is probably true for humans.
