    I'm a hospice nurse, so I clicked immediately when I saw this headline. I'm constantly bombarded with questions from family members about the patients level of consciousness, awareness, can they hear, feel, etc etc. Consciousness is so difficult to explain and exists on a spectrum of mostly shades of gray, not black and white. I've seen so many people take their last breaths, and I've always wondered what is going on in their brains at that moment. Great video

      I'm really surprised that there's no other data than this single brain scan during death.
      Yes, for most people, death is not something you schedule and can therefore make preparations to have a brain scan running.
      But there ARE still plenty of cases of "scheduled death" like executions and (physician-assisted) suicide. If given the opportunity, some of those people might even be okay to have brain scans taken for the benefit of science.
      Having been involved in a case of physician-assisted suicide in my very close family (reason was terminal cancer), I'm kind of surprised that the organization providing this service (Exit in Switzerland) is not working together with scientists to connect them with willing individuals.
      There's a good chance that the individual in my family might have agreed to having an EEG set up in advance. (But not to having a stranger present in the same room at the time of death.)

      Based on my personal experiences, many, if not most people are able to take in sensory input for a few minutes even after clinical death. So it’s a practice in my family to always assure a dying relative that they’re surrounded by loved ones and that they’re not alone. Hopefully our message gets through and they can pass on a little more peacefully as a result.

      From my experience/experimentation, I believe psychedelics/mediation/sound frequencies breaks down the barrier between our conscious and subconscious mind, allowing our conscious mind to experience our sub conscious thoughts, feelings and memories..... however I also believe, in our subconscious mind we can access the universal consciousness...
      One of my first truly breakthrough experiences, during my own experimentation was this..... the words/feeling/communication I was experiencing, felt as if they were coming from someone/something/somewhere else...
      """"" Hey we've been waiting for you....... don't be scared...... don't be scared....... your family is here with us..... you don't really know him well, but he's family, he's family...... it's (then proceeded to tell me a name) he's safe, he's here with us, he's your family don't worry, he's with us""""
      3 days later I was with my mum and we were talking about our family and I was asking if any of my older family members had caught or been effected by c v..... at first she said no.... then after a short pause she said her cousin... with the same name I had heard/felt/experienced 3 days before had been in a coma for 4 days with pneumonia and died the day after my experience.... I was gobsmacked and instantly began to feel an incredibly sadness this was one of the most profound experiences of my life... I had only ever met the man a few times and never really seen him or his family in my day to day life or on social media as I only use this..m. there had been no mention from anyone or way of me knowing about his predicament in the weeks prior. My ability to see this snow has now also been hugely amplified, while staring at anything I can make it I appear in my vision, here's something crazy... I've been able to form whole living scenes from this static/snow, they aren't super clear, but during another couple of session, I was staying at a b and b at the time and the owners son also lived there, I didn’t talk to him as I didn't really like his character, anyway I was seeing a motorbike, very clearly and being told stop looking it's a secret, twice this happened, then a few days later his friend pulled up with two motorbikes in his van to drop off at the b and b...... after much thought and some research, I can only conclude that our minds are like radios and have the ability to tune into different frequencies, that allow us to effectively experience different inputs into our senses/brains.
      I was a hard-core atheist before this.... now I have a new found sense of.... enlightenment amazement, fascination and desire to discover the world to which is there but we cannot see or experience, not in our normal state anyway.
      Peace, power and freedom to all the psychonauts out there.

Only in the last couple decades have we taken a second look at the pros and cons of "false hope" there used to be a much stronger emphasis on "give up hope and learn to deal with it" in our society and on top of that we had the limited treatment options comparatively.

      Omg this made me cry lol. I lost my beautiful old girl (dog) recently, she was put to sleep and died in my arms looking at me. She lived the best life, as did her mom - I was there the moment both of them were born until their deaths.
      I think you’re probably right about this, and it also gave me hope that they were both able to pass on peacefully and relive our time together- & and a reminder of how deeply they were/are still loved. The griefs is horrible, but time we had with them is always worth it tho
      Yk when they do the euthanizing process it takes quite some time to go to sleep and the eventual heartbeat to stop - I really do feel like it appears like their brain’s must be dreaming or reliving their lives.
      Your suggestion gave me some comfort too, thank you ♡

    I know someone in UCSC's Neuro Dept, & she works with brain organiods. She told me that in addition to studying diseases, they also use organiods to study the effects of pressure on brain tissue. This has implications for learning more about TBIs (traumatic brain injuries) & what treatments could help brain tissue recover!
    It won't be this year, & maybe not this decade, but it is still a beacon of hope for veterns & other people exposed to concussive events. Imagine retiring someday knowing that your life's work led to so much help for so many!
    I hope these innovations come quickly, yet I know that scientists _have to_ move with care & deliberation. Those who review the research must move with even more care. I must admit, given that we are talking about people's _brains,_ I am not in favor of rushing!

      That’s the tricky part though. We don’t really understand what consciousness is, nor where it ‘lives’ within neural structures. I don’t think we’re anywhere close to creating anything even close, but it’s nice to see that they are finally able to gain a tiny fraction of insight into how some neural diseases work. I’m not sure our current ethical research standards would even allow us to get anywhere close to replicating human consciousness in the next few hundred years, unless there is a huge shift in priority and technology. We know where certain things happen in certain regions, but we often don’t understand why it’s happening in the first place.

      Something is going on there that we don't have the science yet to know what is.
      Even more ridiculous is when the readings are used as proof that the brain lighting up means 'nothing' is happening. Because we can see where in the brain it happens. It proves nothing other than we may have found where humans connect to the universe.

    Regarding chapter 1, a vaccine would not be a logical way of preventing MS. Only 800 people out of that pool of 10 million had MS despite basically everyone having gotten EB Virus. You would quite literally cause more deaths in traffic accidents alone directly related to someones commute to be vaccinated than you would prevent cases of MS ignoring any negative side effects. Add normal allergy complication deaths with vaccines and it becomes a very bad way of preventing MS in particular.

      As someone with MS I appreciate your thoughts, however I can tell you with certainty that it’d really depend on where you are in the world re a vaccine for MS.
      In northern latitudes of Europe eg Scotland, you’re about 1 in 400 chance of having MS at some stage in your life. That’s completely different to a sample derived from what would be a young, most likely healthy and fit control group that this study was from; England about 1in 600 chance of developing it. I’d advocate for a potential cure/vaccine program any day with those figures. MS is a bitch, and if it could be to all intents and purposes eradicated, fantastic. It’d save a fortune in health care too, from MRI scans to crazy expensive meds to dampen (my) immune system, which can lead to other complicated decisions down the road (hi there covid!) which can make life extremely complicated, to say the least. All best and trust science!

That's even if herpes is what causes MS. This entire plotline of finding a vaccine to prevent a disease that literally infects 95%+ of people, to prevents MS reads like a pharma companies wet dream. They know how much emotion a disease like MS provokes and they know how quickly people would buy up a potential prevention even if it doesn't end up actually preventing the disease. They could sell the product for several decades before it's proven not to work, they could design it to require multiple doses, and they'd have the justification of widespread administration given the source diseases prevalence. Idk, I'd say a lot more research is needed and I'd be very surprised if there is one single cause of a disease like MS.

    I think in the epileptic case, by "heart attack" you meant or should have said 'cardiac arrest'. One is where the heart has reduced blood flow, but is a process of minutes, hours or longer and can result in anything from no harm to death, and the other is when the heart stops beating and without successful intervention will cause death.

    The work with paralysis is truly amazing. While I am not someone who had that, as such, I was confined to a wheelchair for many months after a serious accident as a young adult. Learning to walk again even after they thought I'd fail was immensely satisfying. I can only imagine how much better it would be after being even more seriously impacted than I was. At least I could move enough to read and such after a few months of recovery.
    Brains are truly amazing things, human and animal alike. We've just barely scratched the surface of this field of study and I'm always fascinated by the new things experts in the field find. Even more so when it's an accidental discovery such as the patient who died.

Or the idea from SOMA that you can record someone’s personality and memories and upload it into a robot, it thinks it’s still that human person that was scanned, it can talk, walk, make decisions, have conversations, experience feelings, it has sentience. Is it the human the scan came from? Or just a copy? What does it mean to be human and/or to have sentience? It’s a really crazy thought that sometimes sets me down an existential rabbit hole.

    About the guy who died while having a MRI done, in the late 60`s or 70's there was a movie with natalie wood in it. This was based on people developing a system to record memories. Toward the end one of the people died while the machine was recording his memories. The other scientists replayed the memory recording in their brains, and were able to see/experience all, except the actual death.
    Ok, it's been ages since I watched that movie and I don't recall all the details, but an IMDb search based on the Natalie wood name and the fact this is science fiction might pull up the correct movie. It might even be available someplace.

    It is at this point in time unviable to grow organs by themeslves to full maturation simply due to the fact they do not grow that way naturally, they rely on the integrated interconnected system of organs and tissues that the body grows. Itd be like trying to grow just roots of a tree and expect them to carry on without the nutrients the leaves and trunk provide the roots. Yin and yang as above so below. Create a system of vats that implement an environment similar to that of the organ, make sure it is fed and properly stimulated. Also make sure its vat tank environment matches that of the host, based off their genome signature, and chemical alignment. Then you can start growing organs. There is also a way to kind of in a way 3d print tissues as well. Im still waiting for nano drugs at parties

      That could be useful for certain functions, but obviously not anywhere in the brain. What first came to mind was restoring vision to people that have dead/damaged tissue in the region of the brain dealing with processing visual information, but don't have damage to their eyes or the optic nerve itself. So in areas where new tissue would possibly restore functionality, it could be useful. Obviously not going to replace personality/higherthinking/memories with new cells and get back previous functionality. Anyways, cool to think about, but that tech feels like it would be many decades away.

    8:38 - This was not the first time medicine has looked at the human brain, while people die. They just didn't talk about it.
    For one example; there was a study in the UK (about a decade ago). Involving the 'Liverpool Care Method', later renamed the 'Liverpool Care Pathway'. To see if patients, who went through it, die in agony (but unconcious, so medical staff and the family don't 'see' the suffering). Or if they died peafully (in that state).
    By scanning the brains, in the days leading up to and including death, they discovered people died in agony. But were unable to inform staff or family (as they are unconcious/in a coma, leading up to death). They also go insane while in the coma (due to the lack of food and water in the 'Liverpool Care Method').
    The NHS then quietly stopped the practice. And the media hardly even covered it. But it all happened.
    It was a scandle, swept quickly under the rug.

      none were under anesthetic, they slipped into coma. The mind, was therefore very much active and readable by scanning (years of previous brain activity research also came into play here). The parts of the brain active, light up. And from the signals they saw, could conclude what was going on. A vivid nightmare dream. Where the patient was aware and slowly going crazy in their own heads (due to the lack of food+water). Some might see that as a 'living' hell. But, on the outside (the outside world), no movement or indication this was going on.
      The study was so effective and irrefutable, as i mentioned, that the whole NHS dropped the 'LCM' ..in practically one night.

    As far as we can tell - and as stated factual evidence is a sample of 1 - your life does indeed flash before your eyes during the time around death or when you believe you might be about to die. Based on anecdotal evidence however it isn't simply a recap of your life - pluses, minuses, achievements and regrets - but it may serve an actual purpose. It appears that the brain is quickly sorting through a lifetime of memories to find a way out of what it believes is coming - a way to avoid death. Most of the time it fails, but every so often some seemingly long forgotten memory snaps back into perfect focus that can get you out of the situation.

    Do one on fibromyalgia and the genes IL6 and IL9 find stuff out about that and see if it’s true or not, also just general science discovery on Fibromyalgia. I have cerebral palsy and fibromyalgia and neither can be cured or fixed, and they don’t know why they are caused (cerebral palsy) is likely caused due to lack of oxygen and being born premature, but id love to know more about fibro!
