What really happens in the final moments of life? As the heart stops and the brain begins to lose activity, some people who have had near-death experiences claim to have seen a bright light, heard voices, or felt as if they were leaving their bodies. Science is studying these experiences and seeking to understand whether they are the result of extreme brain processes or whether they might reveal something we still don’t know about consciousness.

Does everything end when we die, or does something begin that we cannot yet explain?
