The researchers conducted the largest study of medical patients surviving clinical death experience and found that human consciousness is possible, and for some time after the heart stops. The phenomenon has been written and talked a lot, but the science consciousness after death has always been a controversial topic.
Researchers from Southampton (Great Britain) closer peek at the university decided to survivors of clinical death experiences. They are eyeing two thousand. patients from the UK, USA and Austria, whose heart has stopped. After the study, researchers found that 40 per cent. patients who survived clinical death consciousness remembers the moments during, writes The Telegraph.
One participant even said from Southampton to completely left my body and watched the resuscitation ward of the corner. Despite the fact that three minutes was unconscious and died, "he perfectly described the medical staff attempts to revive him, and described the medical device to emit a sound.
"We know that the brain can not function when the heart is stopped, - said lead researcher Dr. Sam Parnis from Southampton University, is now working in New York. - However, in this case, consciousness lasted up to three minutes at a time when a person's heart has been stopped, although the normal brain shuts down after 20 - 30 seconds after cardiac arrest. "
"The man told us everything that was in the room at the time, and most importantly, that he had heard two sounds from a medical device that emits them every three minutes, so it possible to determine the duration of clinical death" - he added.
Of 2060 patients who survived clinical death survived 330 and 140 of the survivors told consciousness moments before being animated.
It is true that all the people could not describe the specific details, but researchers have codified some feedback. One in five said undertone unusual calmness, and a third said that they understood at the time, or time stopped or accelerated.
Some said seeing the bright, sun-like light, others remembered the inactivated one fear, when it was pulled down into the water. 13 percent. said that it was gone from his body, still as part of the emergence of an enhanced senses touched.
Dr. Mr Parnis believe that a similar experience might have played a much larger part of the people involved in the investigation, but they are overshadowed by drug effects.
Various data indicate that millions of people went through a similar experience, but the science is controversial. Many believe that the experience can be described as a hallucination, but it seems that these experiences coincide with real events, "- said the researcher.
Now, according to Mr Parnis, need to do more research on this topic. One of them already play psychologist dr. David Wide'as from Nottingham University, which aims to systematize experiences and information to create a template.
