Neuroscientists have recorded the activity of a dying human brain and discovered rhythmic brain wave patterns around the time of death that are similar to those occurring during dreaming, memory recall, and meditation. Now, a study published to Frontiers brings new insight into a possible organizational role of the brain during death and suggests an explanation for vivid life recall in near-death experiences.
The article does not say that this is the first time ever that someone has died while on EEG, but that this is the first time that someone has died while on EEG with a high-density electrode array that allows for a detailed analysis of the brain waves. The article also acknowledges that there have been previous reports of EEG recordings of dying patients, but they were either limited by low spatial resolution, short duration, or lack of behavioral data. The article claims that this is the first study to provide a comprehensive and multimodal description of the brain activity and behavior of a dying person.
Might be an interesting way to die. If you are in hospice agree to be hooked up and have them scan your final moments. Maybe something useful in terms of medical science comes out of it. Also I love sci-fi so I firmly believe if this happens future people can and will bring me back to solve a problem only I can solve and I will have a street smart tough as nails super cop sidekick.

I just tried to edit your comment. Now I feel like a dumbass.
Well I got a chuckle out of it at least.
