Near death experiences give us a different outlook on how the human body and mind reacts to our final moments. NDE may occur at the brink of death almost similar to an out of body experience. Many people are unsure of the causes of NDEs. They are confused to whether it is a scientific or religious process. However, it has been scientifically proven that NDEs are linked to the brain’s functions. They are proven by scientific studies because of the research on lack of oxygen in the brain, the chemicals that are released during the brink of death, and the lifelong emotions and memories of that individual.
New analysis on the key factor in NDE is the gradual onset of anoxia, the deprivation of oxygen, in the brain. Whatever activity is going on while anoxia occurs it affects the right temporal lobe of the brain. Thus, reacting together may generate a near death experience. In the Netherlands a prospective study shows that 62 patients out of 344 (81%) claimed to have a NDE ( Pim van Lommel). Pim, van Lommel, a dutch author and researcher, …show more content…
Everyone has emotions as they are apart of our everyday lives, but not everyone can comprehend them. Emotions such as peace, love, happiness, fear, regret and many more play an important role in NDEs. The cortex can control emotions, as it allows us to pass through the doorway of our subconscious, but it may only happen during extreme situations. Memories also play an important role in NDEs. More specifically false memories have a deep connection with the brain’s functions. As it affects the mind trying to retrospectively to “fill in the gap”after a period of cortical inactivity. For example, having to recall a tragic moment that traumatized the individual would trigger a NDE such as remembering a loved one or family member that has passed away. That is why some people may recall being able to see them along with the bright light
