The question of whether the soul is leaving the body the moment a person dies has been a subject of debate for centuries. However, a recent study reveals that this is exactly what happens.
So far, in order to address this topic from a scientific point of view, researches have studies near-death experiences (NDEs), reports of out-of-body experiences, and studies on the body’s energy changes at the time of death.
However, the study discussed by Dr Stuart Hameroff, anesthesiologist and professor at the University of Arizona, captured the brain activity of clinically dead patients.
For the sake of the study, scientists placed small sensors on the brains of seven extremely sick patients moments before they were taken off life support. This enabled scientists to captured each patient’s blood pressure and heart before it ultimately dropped to zero and the person passed away.
Ultimately, an electroencephalogram (EEG) recorded a strange burst of energy that occurred right after death.
“They saw everything go away and then [psh] you got this activity when there was no blood pressure, no heart rate,” Dr Hameroff shared with Project Unity.
“So that could be the near-death experience, or it could be the soul leaving the body, perhaps.”
The expert suggests that the detected movement could be consciousness leaving the body.
“The point is it shows that consciousness is actually, probably, a very low-energy process. This has been a fairly reproducible event—maybe not 100%, but about 50% of patients show this when you measure it,” he added.
Researchers of the study argue that these bursts could be a result of the brain being deprived of oxygen.
Dr Hameroff discussed the theory on The Science Channel’s documentary series Through the Wormhole.
“Let’s say the heart stops beating, the blood stops flowing; the microtubules lose their quantum state,” he said.
“The quantum information within the microtubules is not destroyed, it can’t be destroyed, and it just distributes and dissipates to the universe at large.
“If the patient is resuscitated, or revived, this quantum information can go back into the microtubules and the patient says ‘I had a near-death experience.”
“If they’re not revived, and the patient dies, it’s possible that this quantum information can exist outside the body, perhaps indefinitely, as a soul.”
The researchers stated: “In our critical care practice, we spend a significant amount of time with grieving families. In these interactions, we have found that the idea that ‘something’ happens at the time of death is comforting to the families.”
