Dying people hear what they say about them: is it true
Does a person hear while in a dying state? For many years, scientists tried to answer this question, but only recently they managed to do it. More information about the study of scientists - in the material "Rambler".Psychologists from the University of British Columbia in Canada conducted an experiment in which patients received palliative care at St. John’s Hospice in Vancouver. Among the participants in the experiment were those who are still conscious, as well as those who were already at death. Some subjects went through both stages of the experiment.
All patients included a short musical composition and, using EEG, they observed how their brain responded to sounds. It turned out that the brain of dying patients responds to music just like the brain of healthy people:
“So far we have no answer to the question of whether a person understands at death what he hears or does not understand. This remains a mystery. But at the same time, it is clear that we must talk with the dying to the very end. Nurses and hospice doctors are well aware of this. Perhaps the voices of loved ones bring comfort to the dying in the last minutes of their lives, ”
- emphasized the author of the study, Elizabeth Blundon.
Thus, Canadian scientists managed to make a kind of breakthrough. A few years ago, researchers had no idea which sensory organ stopped last. Now it has become apparent that hearing helps people at death to maintain a connection with the outside world for a while.
