What do people see before they die?

Israeli scientists say that humans before death will see old memories that do not follow the order of time.

A man slipped and fell to the waterfall. The moment he was near death, he saw the memory of life running through his eyes. Being caught by his brother, the man was lucky to survive but could not forget that "surreal moment" . "It was like a slow motion movie, everything went through my mind. It was the first time it happened and I still chill when I think about it," the unnamed man wrote on Reddit.

According to News, the experience is not strange. Whether in real life or on film, we most have heard about it. Now, science shows the phenomenon of rewinding memories before the time of departure is real.

Specifically, researchers from Hadassah University in Jerusalem investigated 7 people who had almost died and found that they all saw old memories. Unlike Hollywood movies, these memories do not turn from birth to wedding day. They do not follow the chronological order but bring a feeling of being caught in another universe."As if it has been for centuries. I am not in both time and space," said a volunteer who participated in the project.

Written in Consciousness and Cognition, the authors explain the memory stored in the frontal, medial and temporal lobes. These are the last parts of the brain that continue to function when people approach death. In particular, some volunteers reveal revived memories through the lens of a related individual and not themselves."I felt my father's feelings. He shared with me about childhood and suffering," one said.

Besides 7 volunteers, scientists also conducted surveys on the Internet and found that the rewinding of memories is "a common neurocognitive mechanism" or the gathering of mental processes that take place. daily. It is not the mystical reaction of the brain and will happen to almost all of us about to die.
