Spike in end-of-life brain activity could be evidence of ‘soul’ leaving the body, expert says
A flair of energy in the brain in a dying patient who had “no blood pressure” or “heart rate” could be evidence of the “soul leaving the body” after death, according to an expert.
While the University of Arizona professor said that skeptics have argued that it’s the “last gasp” of neurons firing off after death or simply an “illusion,” he argues that it could be consciousness leaving the body.
He speculates that consciousness may not need the same amount of “energy consumption” other activities in the brain require and is found at a “deeper level,” making it “the last thing to go” during the dying process.
