A sudden burst of high-frequency brainwaves in dying patients may help shed more light on the mysterious “near-death experience” reported by survivors across the world, scientists have said.
For decades, people who had returned from death’s grasp told stories that share many common elements, such as moving towards a radiant white light, reliving past memories and seeing faces of departed loved ones. While skeptics dismiss those stories as mere hallucinations, some scientists question whether there is something fundamentally real that causes people of different cultural and religious backgrounds to have remarkably similar experiences.
