What happens in our final moments? Researchers in Vancouver may have unlocked part of the mystery. While monitoring the brain activity of an 87-year-old epilepsy patient, scientists recorded a surge in gamma oscillations—the brainwaves linked to memory recall and dreaming—just seconds before and after his heart stopped. Could this be proof that your life flashes before your eyes? Dr. Ajmal Zemmar’s groundbreaking study raises profound questions about the end of life and organ donation timing. Join us as we explore this extraordinary discovery and what it means for our understanding of death.

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?
