is it possible for science to examine what happens to consciousness at death, empirically?

can any hypothesis be falsified regarding consciousness after death? how would we run such an experiment?

>> No.5783929

if we could identify it like some sort of electromagnetic wave, we could track it's movement or whatever

>> No.5783935

>>5783933

what experiment has verified this? THanks,

please provide several citations.

Nothing happens after you die. Your consciousness stops. We have known this fucking forever!

Stop being a fucking retard

It has been done.

News flash: your consciousness ends when you die

Define "consciousness".

>>5783928
ask the person to respond.
if the person responds, they are conscious.
if the person fails to respond they aren't conscious.

it's generally agreed that dead people lose consciousness.

155,000 die a day.
There consciousness ceases when they die.

How the fuck are you not getting this? You act like it is some goddam mystery, when it is literally happening all around you. DA FUQ?

If consciousness is defined as "full neurological responsiveness", which is the ONLY definition that anyone should be using on /sci/, then it is obvious that consciousness ceases with death, as corpses are obviously not neurologically responsive.

We need to run experiments on consciousness and understand what happens to it when we die and when we are born. Where it goes

Maybe the brain is a receiver like a radio...we can't just speculate

He's using the mystical dualist definition of consciousness rather than the neurological one.

Let's hear a hypothetical model for that.

>Can it be examined

Yes, some hospitals have some kind of written message in the room somewhere the patient couldn't possibly see it on the way in or out.

They're testing out of body experiences in the event of near death experiences, or just astral projection during surgery.

I don't need to tell you this, but still no evidence.

The mystical dualist definition of consciousness is explicitly and intrinsically unfalsifiable. It doesn't even belong on /sci/.

No one is denying the corpse is unconscious.

Web are asking what happens to consciousness itself upon death. And what science experiments have been done to observe it and track it through the multi verse.
