Hey there! Welcome to Life Noggin.
大家好！欢迎来到脑洞大开的生命奇想。
It seems like every movie or story involving someone in a near-death experience has thier life flashing before their eyes or a light at the end of the tunnel calling to them.
似乎电影或故事中讲到人濒死体验时，都是自己的一生在眼前回放，或者看到在隧道尽头有一束光在召唤他们。
Pretty literary tropes aside, what do people really see during near-death experiences and why?
不说这些美妙的文学描写，在濒死体验中人们看到的究竟是什么？为什么？
A near-death experience, or NDE, is a significant psychological event that can occur when a person is close to death or in other situations of physical or emotional crisis.
濒死体验，或称NDE，是一种重要的心理现象，发生在一个人接近死亡或在其他身体或情绪危机的情况下。
NDEs can vary from person to person, but common elements of the phenomenon can include seeing a bright light or lights, strong emotions, having an out-of-body experience, and seeing religious figures or deceased friends and family.
濒死体验因人而异，但这种现象的常见元素有：看到明亮的一束或几束光，强烈的情绪，灵魂出窍，看到宗教人物或已故的朋友和家人。
And if you ask The OA and Homer, near-death experiences can also lead to some unique dance moves.
如果你问到《先见之明》和荷马，濒死体验也会导致一些独特的舞蹈动作。
Can season 2 just come out already? So why do people have near-death experiences? Are they seeing some form of afterlife?
第二季能播出了吗？那么为什么人有濒死体验呢？他们有没有看到来世的某些事？
Are they talking to a god or some greater celestial being?
他们是在和一个神或某个更大的天人交谈吗？
While it can be very difficult to confirm or deny religious or spiritual beliefs on topics like this, we can look into the science behind it.
虽然在诸如此类的话题上很难证实或否认宗教或精神信仰，但我们能够探究其背后的科学。
It seems as though near-death experiences might have to do with a person's temporal lobe.
似乎濒死体验可能与人的颞叶有关。
When looking at temporal lobe functioning in individuals who reported having near-death experiences, they were found to have more types of significant temporal lobe activity than control subjects and they also reported significantly more temporal lobe epileptic symptoms.
观察那些有濒死经历的人的颞叶，会发现他们比对照组有更多类型的明显的颞叶活动，他们也表示明显有更多的颞叶癫痫症状。
The studies also found that the near-death experiencers had shorter sleep durations and delayed REM sleep when compared to the control group.
研究还发现，与对照组相比，濒死体验者的睡眠时间更短，快速眼动睡眠时间更晚。
Potentially furthering a correlation between the human brain and near-death experiences, another recent study found that NDEs were uncommon in head-injury cases compared to other near-death conditions.
另一项最近的研究发现，与其他濒死状态相比，颅脑损伤案例中并不常出现濒死体验，这可能进一步加深了人类大脑与濒死体验之间的关联。
Only 3 of the 86 recruited head-injury patients had a clear and confident experience of an NDE.
招募的86名头部受伤患者中，只有3人清楚地确信自己有濒死经验。
It's also interesting to point out that the reports from all three of the NDE-positive individuals were rich in descriptions of light visions from their experience.
同样有趣的是，这三位确定有濒死体验的受试者都将经历中看到的光描述得十分生动。
Many people also express heightened senses during a near-death experience and that it somehow felt "realer than real".
许多人在濒死体验中感官会更加敏锐，感觉“比真实更真实”。
Curious as to why this was, researchers found in a recent smaller study that NDE memories have more phenomenological characteristics than memories of imagined and real events.
为了探究这种现象的原因，研究人员在最近的一项更小的研究中发现，濒死体验的记忆比想象和真实事件的记忆具有更多的现象学特征。
Since imagined events have, on average, less of these characteristics than real event memories, these findings were quite intriguing.
一般来说，想象中的事件的现象学特征，比真实的事件记忆更少，所以这些发现相当有趣。
They suggest that NDE memories may not simply be imagined event memories, but rather that their physiological origins could lead them to be truly perceived, even if they are not lived in reality.
他们认为，濒死体验记忆可能不仅仅是想象的事件记忆，而是它们的生理起源使得人们真正感知到这种体验，虽然这些并没有出现在现实生活中。
So why do so many people talk about a bright light at the end of a tunnel?
那么，为什么有那么多人谈论隧道尽头的光呢？
It seems like this could be due to a person's blood and oxygen flow being depleted to their eyes at the time of their NDE.
看起来这可能是由于在濒死体验时眼睛的血液和氧气全部耗尽。
It can be common in near-death experiences for a person to lose blood or lack an adequate amount of oxygen.
在濒死体验中，失血或缺氧是很常见的。
One or both of these things have the potential to lead to tunnel vision, possibly explaining the light at the end of the tunnel that is always talked about.
任何一个现象或者这两个一起都有可能导致人看到隧道，这可能解释了人们经常谈论的隧道尽头的光。
Have you ever had an NDE? What was it like? Let me know in the comments section below. Or tell us what should we talk about next. Make sure you come back every Monday for a brand new video.
你有过濒死体验吗？它是什么样子的？请在下面的评论部分告诉我。或者告诉我们接下来该聊些什么。每周一都要回来看新视频哦。
And if you want to know just how important the first years of your life are, then you should definitely check out this episode of life noggin.
如果你想知道生命的最初几年有多重要，那么你一定要去看看这一集。
The power of recognition also dramatically shoots up, tied to significant growth occurring in the hippocampus.
识别能力也会显著地提高，这与海马体的发育有关。
Every time I say hippocampus, I always think about a bunch of hippos going to college. And it makes me smile.
每次说到海马体，我总是想起一群河马上大学，会心一笑。
My name is Blocko. This has been Life Noggin. Don't forget to keep on thinking!
我是宝高，这里是脑洞大开的生命奇想！思考不要停！
