Scientists observe a surge of activity correlated with
consciousness in the dying brain
--- Quote ---
> A recent study published in the Proceedings of the National
Academy of Sciences has presented preliminary findings
suggesting there can be a surge of brain activity linked to
consciousness during the dying process.
>
> The new study aimed to investigate the brain activity of
patients during the dying process, particularly focusing on
whether there are any neural correlates of consciousness.
Near-death experiences (NDEs) have been reported by some cardiac
arrest survivors and are described as highly vivid and real-like
experiences. These experiences challenge our understanding of
brain function during cardiac arrest when consciousness is
believed to be absent.
>
> Previous research has shown that high-frequency brain
oscillations, specifically gamma activities, are associated with
consciousness. In animal studies, sudden termination of cardiac
function or acute asphyxia has been found to stimulate gamma
activities. However, no studies have examined the neural
correlates of dying humans that could explain the subjective
experiences reported in NDEs.

> “My lab has been studying the dying brain since 2013 and was
the first to discover the surge of gamma oscillations in the
dying process, in rats (Borjigin et al., 2013; Li et al., 2015),
as I was shocked to realize that the science/medicine knows
little about the brain during the dying process,” said study
author Jimo Borjigin, an associate professor in the department
of Molecular and Integrative Physiology with a joint appointment
in Neurology at University of Michigan Medical School...

Mysterious spiral signals in the human brain could be key to our
cognition

> Scientists suggest strange swirls across the outer layer of
the brain might be used to link different parts of it together
and help process information faster.

> Mysterious, spiral signals have been discovered in the human
brain, and the scientists who found the swirls think they could
help to organize complex brain activity.
>
> The signals, which appeared as swirling spirals of brain waves
across the outer layer of the brain, were discovered in
functional magnetic resonance imaging (fMRI) brain scans of 100
young adults, and appeared both when they were resting and
working on tasks.
>
> The exact purpose of these vortices is unknown, but their
discoverers think the spiral signals might be used to link
different parts of the brain and help process information
faster. These vortices may even be impaired by brain diseases
such as dementia, and could serve as inspiration for advanced
computers that emulate the complex processes of the human mind.
The researchers published their findings June 15 in the journal
Nature Human Behaviour...

I have always intuitively known that this is the case, perhaps
why AI alone never concerned me that much. Merging humans with
machines is more worrisome for myself, especially because humans
do not understand how consciousness works, and are just now
understanding human cognition.

> Tryptophan: the protagonist
> That’s right, this amino acid found in many cellular proteins
is the protagonist of this discovery. Tryptophan, under certain
conditions, could be capable of acting as a quantum
communication network. According to Kurian, these tryptophan
filaments inside cellular structures like microtubules can
absorb and reemit ultraviolet light coherently using quantum
properties. In other words, the cell can transmit information
with a level of efficiency never before seen in biology.
