What Happens To Your Consciousness After You Die?
What happens to our consciousness after we die? It's a question that has fascinated humans for all of our history. Some think there is nothing after death, while others believe in an afterlife or reincarnation. There is even an emerging theory about a "third state" between life and death based on cellular research. The question of what happens to our consciousness after we die has no single answer, but there are compelling theories. Sam Parnia is an associate professor of medicine at New York University Langone and directs research focused on cardiopulmonary resuscitation. His book, "Lucid Dying: The New Science Revolutionizing How We Understand Life and Death," explores research in this field, and he spoke about it in a University of Chicago podcast. "The issue of life and death was pretty clear until the discovery of CPR ... many people who've survived episodes of getting close to death or even their heart stopping and going beyond what I call the threshold of death were recalling very vivid and universal experiences about themselves, which were labeled near-death experiences," he explained. According to Parnia, the term came about because at the time, we didn't know that humans can be brought back to life acfter experiencing biological death. "So based on a philosophy that you could never come back from death, they were labeled near-death experiences," he continued. "We don't think that term is accurate anymore. And the term that we now use is a recalled experience of death."

Going half a century back, medical student Raymond Moody conducted his own study that was published in his 1975 book, "Life After Life." It followed 150 people who had remarkably similar descriptions of their near-death experiences. They described leaving their body, going through a tunnel, seeing beings of light, recalling the events of their lives, and then being returned to their bodies. Dr. Jimo Borjigin is an associate professor in the Department of Molecular and Integrative Physiology and the Department of Neurology for the University of Michigan Medical School. She and her team studied four patients who were removed from life support. Afterward, two of them had a burst of heart rate activity and brain activity in the area associated with dreaming, hallucinations, and altered states of consciousness. The two other patients had no such activity. The founding director of the Michigan Center for Consciousness Science, Dr. George Mashour, collaborated with Borjigin and her team and commented on the fascinating findings. "How vivid experience can emerge from a dysfunctional brain during the process of dying is a neuroscientific paradox," he said in a statement. There Are Many Theories About What Happens After You Die Some steadfastly believe that nothing happens to your consciousness after you die — death is the end. This may be why people wish for longer lives. In an episode of "Expedition Unknown: Search for the Afterlife" on Discovery, host Josh Gates visited a Russian cryogenics lab. People who had died from illness were preserved there, where they hoped one day science would be able to revive and cure them. They might have liked this app that uses AI to predict when you will die. Researchers at the University of Liège speculate that "recalled death" experiences are similar to when animals play dead to escape danger, known as thanatosis. Others believe it may be the brain's attempt to restart itself that is causing such strange experiences. Greek philosopher Socrates believed in an immortal soul based on the cycles of life, death, and rebirth around us. Religion and spirituality also advocate for an immortal soul. Christianity and Islam believe in an afterlife, while Buddhism says the end of your life marks the beginning of your next life. Pagans have varying views depending on their specific lines of belief, but they generally agree that there is something beyond death. What happens to your consciousness after you die is a question likely never to be fully settled, but compelling scientific research and spiritual beliefs can help us find a theory that gives us comfort.
