Medical Video: What Happens When You Die?

Near death experience (NDE) or more commonly known as suspended animation is one phenomenon that is quite often found in everyday life. Suspended animation is often described as the feeling that a person's soul has left his body, followed by the experience of passing a dark tunnel with light at the end of a tunnel, and going to a dimension where a person feels a feeling of warmth, comfort and love.

Suspended animation experiences vary depending on culture

Many societies linking this near-death experience are mystical, even though much recent research has shown that NDE is a manifestation of the state of the brain and can be explained by science. The near-death experience is influenced by cultural culture in each region. Therefore, the torpor experienced by Indonesians may be different from that experienced by Europeans.

Suspended animation is found in all the inhabitants of the world. About 3% of the American population claims to have been dormant, this experience is also experienced by around 4-5% of Europeans. Suspended animation is more often experienced by women than men, and is more often experienced by someone under the age of 60 years. About 50% of people who experience near death feel that they really have already died, 56% feel that it is a positive experience, 24% feel that their soul is leaving their body or out of body experience (OBE), 31% reported experience going through tunnels, and 32% reported interactions with people who had died.

What is usually felt during torpor?

Feeling dead really

Feelings of death are often reported by people who experience torpor. This feeling is also experienced by those who suffer from cotard syndrome, this is associated with brain disorders in the parietal and prefrontal cortex, and generally disappears after a few days. This is also reported in people who experience head injuries, severe typhoid, and multiple sclerosis. It is not yet known why a person can experience feelings of death, the logical explanation is that perhaps this is only an attempt by the patient to understand the strange experience experienced

The feeling of the soul comes out of the body

Out of body experience (OBE) is often described as a feeling of "floating" outside the body, and sometimes accompanied by autoscopy, which is to see the body itself when "floating". Although often considered a mystical experience, OBE can also occur in other conditions, such as when a person experiences sleep paralysis or better known as "ketindihan". When it is over, the body is in the REM phase or sleeps well, but their brain is partially awakened.

Olaf Blanke's research succeeded in triggering an artificial OBE by stimulating the temporoparietal brain. The study also concluded that OBE occurs when the brain fails to integrate various sensory stimuli from the external environment.

Interaction with dead people

In various religions and stories from mouths, many claim that when we die, we will be surrounded by dead people and angels. This also influences the experience we feel when we are suspended animation. This phenomenon is thought to be due to a dopamine disorder. Dopamine is a neurotransmitter in the brain that can cause a person to experience hallucinations. Symptoms of interacting with something not real are also experienced by patients with Alzheimer's, Parkinson's, and macular degeneration.

In patients with macular degeneration in the eye, impaired vision causes the brain to try to compensate by presenting other images that actually do not exist. Therefore, it can be concluded that this experience of interaction with the dead can be caused by impaired dopamine function and sensory input disorders.

See light tunnels

Seeing light tunnels is one of the phenomena that are often reported after torpor. This can be caused due to reduced blood supply and oxygen in the retina of the eye. When the retina lacks oxygen and becomes ischemic, vision in the edge area of the eye will experience interference first. This disorder then extends to the middle, so that it appears as a tunnel.

Suspended animation is a unique experience with a variety of complex mechanisms behind it, ranging from lack of oxygen, impaired REM sleep phase, impaired dopamine function, and cultural influences and beliefs. One thing we need to underline is that NDEs do not necessarily have to be mystical events and can be explained by science, so you don't have to think too much if you experience them.
