Neuroscientists have recorded the activity of a dying human brain and discovered rhythmic brain wave patterns around the time of death that are similar to those occurring during dreaming, memory recall, and meditation. Now, a study published to Frontiers brings new insight into a possible organizational role of the brain during death and suggests an explanation for vivid life recall in near-death experiences.

    I read this on the internet (maybe erowid? Lol) forever ago so who knows: but I heard your brain releases dumb amounts of DMT right as you die, which is also a chemical your brain elicits while dreaming

      Think I heard about this as well. It has to do with oxygen delivery or something. Your brain is running low on oxygen so it releases a chemical that brings it more and that chemical breaks down into DMT.

      Does anyone in the bio field here know about this?
