Very interesting, wish there was more examples to the study. The article lists one patient up to 10 minutes of brain activity after cardiac arrest.
Actually, this is not surprising and for me only points more to the Brain being the true center of our being.
Death truly occurs when the brain dies.
I think of the old 33 records....When it gets to the end....it just goes round and round but emits nothing musical. The disturbance of the body is like lifting the needle off the record.

You are a Soul Trapped In A Body.”
Personal thoughts (just my own experience) are that it is probably accurate but is NOT terrifying (at least in my own experience). It is not something to fear. I had a near death experience seven years ago (direct result of a prolonged, violent attack). I died, I know exactly how I died, my wife saw me die and how I died (exactly matched what I knew happened), I knew I died. Yet..... I ended up alive (and deeply grateful for each new day to do something new) The main thing was it literally took me several months to reset to the fact that I was not dead. Because my brain knew I died.

exactly!
It certainly makes the prospect of decapitation...especially by Guillotine...that much more horrifying.
My dad was a pastor and has been at the bedside of many people when they died. Often, just as a person was passing, some would open their eyes and seem to look beyond what was happening around them, and some would smile as if they recognized someone, some would speak a phrase, and some would do both.
