Mmmmm ... 7 months later ...

I saw Carne (well, well gore and violent ...), irreversible (very violent), and Enter the Void (well um ... space ...) ... but not Alone against all (who must look like Carne ...)

Apart from the graphic style, for me, this is not a trilogy or your colleague must justify ... with some arguments that go well! :D

Rare, an interview with Gaspar ..



Is it me where I feel that he is far away? : Cheesy:

Death is a species of ultimate orgasm in the brain!

Death as it had never been seen

SCIENCE. An experiment at a university in Berlin allowed us to visualize what was happening in the brain of a dying man at the fateful moment. And the results, unpublished, are amazing. Cerebrally speaking, death is less an extinction than a final electric conflagration.
This is the great, the fateful question: what is happening in our brain - and therefore in our minds, in our consciousness - at the minute of our death? The answer, so far, seemed out of reach of scientific inquiry: no one has ever come back from the other side to testify to what he had seen and felt as he passed from life to death.

Certainly, there are these disturbing stories collected on the lips of those who have come close to death. Collectively known as "Near-Death Experiments" (IMEs), they are taken very seriously by a part of the neuroscientists' community that lists and dissects them, as does the Coma Science Group's team. University of Liege (read below).

But, by definition, survivors whose experience was recognized as authentic EMI after evaluation on the Greyson scale (named after the American psychiatrist Bruce Greyson, who proposed it in 1983) have escaped death. They only saw the shadow. Death itself and what it causes in the brain of the dying person remain completely shrouded in mystery. At least that was the case until this year ...

In a study published by the journal Annals of Neurology which caused a sensation - and which will undoubtedly date in the still recent history of thanatology -, the professor in experimental neurology at the Charité University of Berlin, Jens Dreier , details the extraordinary experience that he and his team have performed on nine patients. These nine people, all of whom were admitted to intensive care following brain injury, were subjected to heavy neurological monitoring, more invasive than a simple electroencephalogram.

"This is an unconventional technique, which allows recording the electrical activity of the brain, including at very low frequencies, of the order of 0,01 hertz," said Stéphane Marinesco, head of the Research Center. in neuroscience of Lyon. The low frequencies emitted by the brain are difficult to cross the scalp, making them undetectable electroencephalogram devices whose electrodes are placed on the scalp. In the monitoring system used by patients in Dr. Dreier's department, the electrodes were placed inside the skull, and even under the dura, the rigid membrane that surrounds the brain and spinal cord.

This access to the very low frequencies, corresponding to a slow electrical activity, was the window that allowed Jens Dreier and his team to visualize what was happening in the brain of people dying. For their experience, the German neuroscientists simply asked the families, once it became clear that the patient would not survive his accident, permission to continue the registration until the end. And even a little beyond the "end", that is to say, brain death, this moment from which a classic electroencephalogram no longer records any brain activity and that the World Health Organization considers as the medico-legal criterion of death.

Wave of depolarization
What did the recordings made at the Berlin Charity show? Something quite fascinating, hitherto unpublished, and that should perhaps lead specialists to reconsider their definition of death and its exact moment. This cerebral phenomenon, the study says, occurs between 2 and 5 minutes after ischemia, when organs (including the brain) are no longer supplied with blood and therefore oxygen. And he himself lasts a little ten minutes. It can be likened to a sort of electric fire that ignites at one end of the brain and from there spreads at a rate of 50 microns per second throughout the brain before it goes out at the other end. end, his work of destruction accomplished. Neuroscientists speak of a "wave of depolarization".

To maintain the "membrane potential" that allows it to communicate with its neighbors in the form of nerve impulses (read opposite), a neuron needs energy. And so to be continuously irrigated by the blood coming from the arteries which brings him the oxygen essential for the production of this energy in the form of adenosine triphosphate (ATP). All of Jens Dreier's work consisted of observing what was happening to the neurons once the heart stopped beating and the blood pressure dropped to zero, they were no longer supplied with oxygen.

"The study showed that neurons then put themselves in 'energy saving' mode," says Stéphane Marinesco. During the 2 5 minutes separating ischemia from the onset of the depolarization wave, they draw on their ATP stores to maintain their membrane potential. During this intermediate phase, during which the brain is literally between life and death, it does not suffer any irreversible damage: if the oxygen supply were to be restored, it could start functioning without major damage. .

Chain reaction
But this heroic resistance of nerve cells has its limits. At a given moment, in one or the other place of the brain, a first neuron "cracks", that is to say it depolarizes. The potassium stocks that allowed him to maintain his membrane potential having become useless, he drops them into the extracellular environment. It does the same with its stocks of glutamate, the main excitatory neurotransmitter in the brain.

But in doing so, this first neuron initiates a formidable chain reaction: the potassium and glutamate released by it reach a neighboring neuron, which immediately causes depolarization; in turn, this second neuron relaxes its stocks and causes the depolarization of a third, etc. Thus appears and spreads the wave of depolarization, corresponding to the slow electrical activity recorded by the specific monitoring system used at the Berlin Charity. The "final bouquet" of the brain on the verge of extinction.

There are other circumstances in life where we observe waves of depolarization, a little different in that they are not, as here, irreversible. This is particularly the case in migraines with aura, formerly known as ophthalmic migraines, because they are accompanied by visual symptoms that may be simple distortions of the visual field, but also, sometimes, the appearance of bright spots, or even real hallucinations quite similar to those reported in the NDEs.

Does the final brain blaze brought to light by Jens Dreier's experience lead to the appearance of this intense white light that people who have had an imminent death experience say they have seen shine after a mysterious tunnel? This, the study does not say it. But the hypothesis does not seem indefensible.

THE MYSTERY OF IMMINENT DEATH EXPERIENCES
At the University of Liege, the Coma Science Group team has compiled a database of more than 1.600 stories of near-death experiences (EMI). On this corpus, she sifted 154. This qualitative study, published last year, revealed that almost no narrative was like the other in terms of chronology of events, although common components do exist. The most recurrent is the feeling of well-being and peace (present in 80% of the stories of EMI), in front of the perception of a brilliant light (69%), the meeting with dead or mystical beings (64% ) and the feeling of decorporation (53%).

Sixteen years ago, a Swiss neuroscientist accidentally triggered such an illusion of exit from the body in an epileptic patient by stimulating the angular gyrus of his right temporoparietal junction. The wave of depolarization which, on the verge of death, comes to excite a last time all the encephalon - including this very precise area - is it at the origin of the decorporation experiments reported in the EMI?

THE ELECTROCHEMICAL FUNCTIONING OF NEURONE
In any living neuron, there is a difference in electrical potential between the outer and inner faces of its membrane.

This potential difference, called membrane potential, is due to the presence on the outer face of positively charged chemical species and, on the inner side, of negatively charged chemical species. These chemical species are ions, mainly potassium ions.

The circulation of potassium ions on both sides of the neuron membrane, via the ion channels, makes it possible to vary the value of the membrane potential.

When this membrane potential changes from a negative value, called "rest", to a positive value, corresponding to a state of excitation, it is said that this neuron depolarizes.

This electrochemical mechanism is what allows neurons to communicate with their neighbors in the form of nerve impulses.

Ah ah ah !!

The study reveals, among other things, that the LSD frees our perception by allowing certain partitioned areas of the brain to communicate again with each other



No need for a study, some had sung it more than 20 years ago!

I do not otherwise explain a good part of the compositions of the brilliant pop-rock of the late 60s, early 70s.

Finally you are not stuck grandpa? : Mrgreen:

The 80s were also not bad eh in terms of musical design!

It is not because I express myself more or less correctly in French and without too many spelling mistakes that I would be a grandpa. I am not, although it is true that a forum, it's an old thing. Young people are tweeting and "chatting". Or you'd have to dust it off, like Discord.

The 80s, I am less excited, the continuation of the decadence started at the end of the 70s with the disco, then the funk or the house. The lyrics, zero level, no more political messages like peace & love but silly. But still some good successes before the almost nothingness of the 90s and rap. After 2000, the production became so huge that there is obviously a valid point about the number, but to sort it is a challenge.
In addition technically, it has become very bad, especially the dynamics, reasons here:

I don't know if they mention autotune in this video, another junkie that just blackmailed anyone. Before, the record companies would make musicians and singers do 10 or more takes until it was perfect, now they just do one and hey presto, auto-tune. We save time and money, but everything is level.

We regret LSD.

Exactly what I had sensed and explained to the proponents of "magic" on a forum dedicated to this topic! Great I was ... : Mrgreen:

And "Live" concerts are more and more play-back (yes, yes). If we had realized that at the end of the 70s and 80s, we would have blown it all away ... the venue, the marquee, the security service, the star, the musicians, the OB van, the backstage, etc, etc. Today, it seems normal, it's okay, the fans (the idiots) applaud and flock to the derivative products
