Life, death and brain waves

I'm doing more evening sessions these days. It seems to be easier for those who use my services and means the days are spent on other activities.

A brief scan through the news this morning brought up an interesting piece (via The Daily Mail web site) about brain activity as we approach death (sorry if this sound morbid). It seems that there is a huge spike in neuron activity as a person dies.

The articles puts forward the idea that this happens as the blood supply to the brain fails and may coincide with so-called near death experiences.

All interesting stuff and it does make me think about the nature of life and death........well I'm not the first person to cover that territory am I.
