DAVID: Brain energy is a material matter, not consciousness which is not matter. They are seeing a last gasp phenomenon, nothing to do with the patient's experiences described in the article. Afterlife is after life is fully established when the transition is complete. Parnia is studying an inbetween period.

dhw: You claimed that the article supported dualism, but the experiences described ONLY refer to events that happened around the patient during the final few minutes of brain activity. This implies that awareness of what is going on around the patient still depends on the brain. That is why I suggest that the evidence for dualism comes from patients’ experiences AFTER the cessation of brain activity.

Go back and read the article. Parnia is studying people who are clinically brain dead, and finds them experiencing events they should not be aware of. Inactive brain while having experiences is dualism to me.
