A University of Louisville doctor and medical researcher conducted a study that may prove the “life review” theory – the concept that one’s life “flashes before their eyes” as they die.
In television and movies, “life review” is a trope used for comedic or dramatic narrative purposes. For researchers, this study could provide an understanding into the poorly understood process of death and dying.
Ajmal Zemmar, a neurosurgeon and assistant professor of neurosurgery at the U of L medical school, organized the study.
Raul Vicente, a neuroscientist and professor of data at the University of Tartu in Estonia, and his team were treating an 87 year-old man for epilepsy.
