A Neuroscientist's Near Death Experience: What I Saw When I Died

Episode A Neuroscientist's Near Death Experience: What I Saw When I Died
A neuroscientist's near death experience: six years ago, after a long surgery, my heart stopped for three to five minutes. Here's what I saw, and what the science says.
I flatlined in the ICU, left my body, and watched my husband Mac bang on the door shouting that something was wrong. In this episode, my daughter Dominique and I talk through that experience, a shared death experience I had years later, and why so many researchers now say a dying, oxygen-starved brain can't explain what people report.
🔬 What you'll learn:
• What happens when you die, from someone who came back and studies consciousness for a living
• Why the oxygen deprivation and hallucination theories don't match what experiencers describe
• How nearly dying can take away the fear of death for good
• What a shared death experience is, and why the reports are so consistent
• How your mind drives your brain, and why that gives you more power than you realize
