Re: Death Mix
You know, i've always wondered this about how people's eyes just like "turn off" when they die. Like the lights go out. Is that a biological thing, or a spiritual thing? Would love to know.

Re: Death Mix
Biological, of course. E.g.: the eyes dry out, the muscles relax, gravity and anatomy do what they always do together in our absence. The rest is our perception. Our senses are attuned to social and survival needs, like paying attention to body language and gaze. There's a million little things that go missing when we evaporate. This is something we're sensitive to, the basis of uncanny valley effects, and thus also the reason it's hard to take CGI to the next level. In my experience, death is most obvious when we encounter an already dead body and get that first gut assesment, much less so when we observe the transition, and least apparent when we're reluctant to acknowledge what we're seeing. No idea if that's true for everyone or not. So, your biology and theirs; what else would it be?  |

Re: Death Mix
I’m sure there are explanations to support both biological and spiritual reasons. It is said that eyes are the mirror to the soul? No soul, no spark.

Re: Death Mix
The eyes question: I as an ER nurse for many years - kind of a bit of a bleeding heart - I really care about people. I have watched that light go out many, many times - sometimes in the middle of speaking. It seems to dim slightly, then it's just gone. You don't see it blink out, it's just gone - a rapid fade maybe. I do not know

Re: Death Mix
The nerves stop firing and the normal action of the muscles (including the pupil/iris) will cease. That’s when it seems to go out, because the motion we perceive as life ceases and stuff goes back to however it defaults to being. It can, as you say, happen in mid sentence, since the brain has multiple parts that only give the appearance of one seamless whole when they’re working together. When I went out (BP 40/30 or so apparently isn’t enough to stand), the ability to form the sentences went after the ability to speak them, which went after the coordination to speak intelligibly. Sight was gone at that point, ahead of vestigial hearing (still trying to find a good example of how that unique distortion sounds to explain to people). Motion dissolved from higher function to lower until there was just erratic twitching of muscles with no obvious relation to the last movement that got stuck in a loop during dissolution. Memory formation didn’t have time to cease before return of circulation, so I have a vivid recollection of exactly how it felt to dissolve “all the way”, with the assumption it would be final. It’s a comforting memory. No fun, in the least, and any hint of that distortion tends to set my pulse racing, but it’s easy to imagine worse. It’s not so bad, just a little scary and a lot confusing. Evaporating feels odd, sure. But the worst comes before that, and was probably over by the time you saw them in the ER, for the ones who ended there. And having someone around while it’s happening does make it appreciably easier. Hope that affords some peace of mind, Leslie. |
