Explained what exactly happens to human consciousness when a person dies

In the scientific community, a sensational statement by Professor Maria Stremme of Uppsala University has caused heated discussion. The Swedish researcher claims that human consciousness does not originate in the brain and does not cease to exist after death, but returns to a universal "background field".

As reported by BAKU.WS, in an interview with the Daily Mail, Professor Stremme presented a revolutionary view on the nature of consciousness. In her opinion, traditional ideas about the connection between consciousness and the brain are too limited. The researcher proposes an alternative model: our individual "self" is merely a temporary form of manifestation of a deeper level of reality.

"It's like a wave on the surface of the ocean," the scientist explains. "The wave may disappear, but the water that created it doesn't go anywhere."

This approach, notes Professor Stremme, opens new horizons for understanding near-death experiences. People who are between life and death, with weakened brain activity, may gain access to this "basic field." In such states, phenomena traditionally associated with the realm of mysticism become possible: visions, premonitions, and pictures of events perceived as future ones.

According to the researcher, in critical moments people report stunning images - bright light, tunnels, winged beings, gardens, black holes, and sometimes meetings with deceased relatives. These motifs are regularly repeated in the testimonies of people who have experienced clinical death.

"If consciousness is indeed part of a larger field, then such experiences cannot be explained by neural activity alone," believes Stremme, emphasizing that further scientific research is needed for definitive conclusions.
