So, I am a new user and I have been thinking that is why I found this website.

If a technology is created that can read brainwaves and process the human conscious so that human thoughts can be read etc. would it be possible to see their same thoughts when they died?

What I mean is that someone dies but their brain still works for a little while afterwords. I know someone that has "died" and saw a white light but they came back.

Would it be possible to still see that with a new technology?

Sorry for the confusing post jumping back and forth.

teamzerosc, I doubt you'll be seeing that technology anytime soon. Current uses of EEG/MEG/fMRI/SQUID to record brain activity noninvasively in humans and to attempt to "read the persons's mind" are crude at best, and will remain that way until a technological breakthrough occurs in monitoring brain activity noninvasively at much higher spatiotemporal resolutions. That being said, with the right technology, anything is possible.

The right technology may not be possible. Technology is subject to physical law, which sets limits.
