00:00Since the beginning of time, we've wondered what happens in our final moments.
00:04A groundbreaking discovery might finally give us a glimpse into the mystery.
00:08Researchers in Vancouver, Canada, made an unexpected breakthrough while observing an 87-year-old epilepsy patient.
00:16Tragically, during the study, the patient suffered a heart attack and passed away.
00:21But what they captured was extraordinary.
00:24Using an electroencephalogram, or EEG, they recorded the brain activity during the 30 seconds before and after his heart stopped.
00:32The results showed a surge in gamma oscillations, the same brain waves linked to memory recall and dreaming.
00:39This could mean that the age-old saying, your life flashes before your eyes, might actually be true.
00:45In those final moments, the brain may replay our most cherished memories one last time.
00:51Dr. Ajmal Zemar, the study's lead author, explains that the brain may generate a final recall of important life events just before we die.
01:00This discovery could even reshape how we define the end of life and raise critical questions about organ donation timing.
01:07It's a powerful reminder of how precious life truly is.
01:11What might your last thoughts be?
