I have been thinking a lot about something I read in a magazine. I had read: “Brain waves spike during death.”
Researchers found that in the process of dying, brain activity increases. When it is graphed, it represents a distinct series of sharp, upward spikes. Before these spikes, there is usually a period of low-level dormancy, typically a relatively flat line of limited brain activity. Then, during death, brain wave activity spikes.
This has taken me into an extended philosophical meditation about logical truth and the nature of consciousness.
