EEG Captures Near‑Death States

Researchers have for the first time recorded electroencephalogram (EEG) activity from people undergoing near‑death experiences and proposed a neurophysiological model linking oxygen deprivation, massive neurotransmitter release (noradrenaline, serotonin), and activity in temporal‑parietal and occipital regions to the characteristic NDE features. The claim is empirical and testable: it moves many NDE reports from post‑hoc narrative evidence to phenomena with measurable brain correlates. — If reproducible, these recordings reshape public debates about death, spirituality, and the neuroscience of consciousness by providing a physiological account of experiences often treated as metaphysical.
