What does a person hear a few minutes before death?

The information people hear a few minutes before death has amazed scientists.

New studies are overturning our understanding of the boundary between life and death and prompting a reconsideration of where consciousness truly ends.
Dr. Samir Shet reports:

"Our results show that the brain is more active and capable than previously thought. Even under general anesthesia, patients' brains continue to process the environment."

Researchers recorded the brain activity of patients under general anesthesia during surgery, focusing especially on the hippocampus — a region that plays a central role in memory and information processing.

Patients were presented with short stories and various sounds. The results surprised doctors: neurons in the hippocampus not only responded to the sounds but were also able to distinguish nouns, verbs, and adjectives, and even had the ability to predict the next words in sentences.
Dr. Benjamin Hayden notes:

"Such predictive coding is usually associated with attention and wakefulness, but here it occurs in a subconscious state."

These findings support the research of Dr. Sam Parnia at New York University's Langone Medical School. He has conducted studies on cases of patients who survived cardiac arrest, effectively "returned from the dead." (medicine.az)
