1
What does it feel like to die?
2
It's a question that many are curious, if not a little scared about, but scientists are now closer than ever to understanding what actually happens while you're dying.
3
Recently, researchers studied the brains and bodies of dying people to gain new insight into what it feels like as you die.
4
First up, relaxation.
5
A recent meta -analysis found
6
that most people in the Western world will die in medical
7
institutions where the first sign of death is a loss of hunger and thirst.
8
Physicians call this the beginning of active dying
9
and it is caused by an intense feeling of relaxation where
10
you will likely only be capable of handling small spoonfuls of food and water.
11
Step 2 of death: extreme fatigue and unconsciousness.
12
One study found that 72 % of patients in this phase pre -death dreams involving reuniting with people who had already died,
13
59 % said that they dreamed about getting ready to travel somewhere, and 28 % dreamed of meaningful experiences from their past.
14
These pre -death dreams are happening because at this time you are mostly asleep and even dipping into unconsciousness.
15
This means that if someone tries to physically wake you up, nothing will happen.
16
The thing is, studies of unconscious patients show that when they did eventually wake up from being unconscious, they thought they were only just asleep.
17
Essentially, you are not going to be aware of going in and out of consciousness.
18
Some reports say that this stage of dying feels a bit like
19
when you can't get out of bed from an intense cold or flu, but when you are dying, the sleep is no longer rejuvenating and the fatigue is consistent.
20
Because at times you are now unconscious, it's harder to plan for oral medications.
21
So at this point, you might be hooked up to syringe pumps
22
or suppositories in order to get oral medications or dying aids before death.
23
light.
24
At this point, studies show that your heart will beat less forcefully, your blood pressure will fall, and your organs, including your brain, will function less.
25
Essentially, your brain is trying to conserve energy as it slowly dies, and this causes your brain to lose the power of inhibition.
26
You may have heard people talking about seeing the light or moving towards the light during near -death experiences.
27
Brain studies on rats show that a dying brain's lack of inhibition causes the visual as well,
28
which may explain why many people report this phenomenon of seeing light as their brain begins to die.
29
Step four of death: Scary Breathing.
30
Known as the death rattle, an unconscious person's breathing still follows the automatic patterns generated by the respiratory system of their brain.
31
But they don't have proper awareness of their mouth and throat, so saliva builds up.
32
The saliva in the back of the throat, mixed with the automatic quick breaths, creates loud breathing noises that many people will observe as disturbing,
33
but it's important to note that the person dying is actually feeling no distress.
34
In fact, the reason that this is happening to the dying person is because physiologically they are so relaxed.
35
Step five of death: brain surging.
36
A 2013 study on rat brains dying from cardiac arrest found
37
that specific brain regions surged with synchronized low gamma waves more coherent than when the rats were alive
38
brain waves were similar to when rats were engaged in high -level cognitive activity.
39
This, of course, got researchers interested in what's happening to our brains as we die as well.
40
In humans, a study on 567 dying men and women had their brains scanned as they were being resuscitated with CPR.
41
It turns out that like the rats, the brains fired in intense ways,
42
and those who survived the CPR reported events with no pain or distress,
43
a meaningful evaluation of their life, and assessing their own actions towards others throughout their life.
44
This is again all likely linked to the disinhibition of our brain as we die.
45
It was also found that this disinhibition caused the part of the brain involved in memory to light up, allowing some people to access stored memories,
46
while other patients, when resuscitated, couldn't remember anything that had just happened to them, even though brain scans in uninhibited, active ways.
47
Some of these patients reported knowing that they were dying, but also that they were going towards a place that felt like home.
48
One other study of a man's brain while dying found
49
that his brain activation was similar to people who were on the psychedelic drug DMT.
50
But more recent studies found resuscitated dying people reported that what they had experienced right before death felt different than hallucinations, illusions, or even dreams.
51
emotions.
52
We actually did a whole podcast on the cognitive side of dying and people's experiences and advice for death.
53
Link here on screen and in the description over on our podcast channel side though.
54
I think about dying all the time.
55
That's why I made this video.
56
Thank you so much for watching and I said peace.

このビデオで話す練習をする理由は?

このビデオは、死に関する科学的な洞察を提供し、それに関する多くの興味深いトピックを扱っています。英語シャドーイングを活用することで、学習者はただ受動的に聞くのではなく、内容に対して主体的に関わり、自身の意見や感情を英語で表現する力を養えます。特に、医療や生死のテーマは様々な状況での会話に役立つため、IELTS スピーキング対策にも非常に有用です。

文法と表現の文脈

このトランスクリプトには、いくつかの重要な文法と表現が含まれています。以下にその一部を挙げます:

  • 「What does it feel like to...?」 - 感覚や経験を尋ねる際の便利な構文です。この表現を使うことで、疑問文の作成がスムーズになります。
  • 「...is caused by...」 - 原因と結果を説明する際に有用な構造で、英語の論理的な表現をスムーズにできます。
  • 「This means that...」 - 何かの説明をする際に明確にするために使えるフレーズです。特に、複雑なアイデアを簡潔に伝えるのに役立ちます。
  • 「It turns out that...」 - 何かを発見したときに使用される表現で、議論を展開する際や、新しい情報を紹介する際に効果的です。

一般的な発音の罠

ビデオには、英語の発音を良くするために克服すべきいくつかの難しい単語やアクセントが含まれています。

  • 「Syringe pumps」 - 口語では快速に発音されるため、特に注意が必要です。
  • 「Unconscious」 - この単語は「アンクンシャス」と聞こえがちですが、正確には「アンコンシャス」と発音します。
  • 「Inhibition」 - この単語も滑らかに読むのが難しいため、音の流れを意識して練習することが重要です。

これらの表現や単語を使って、shadowspeaksや英語の発音を良くする練習を行い、滑らかな会話を目指しましょう。英語のスピーキング力を向上させるために、繰り返し練習することが重要です。

シャドーイングとは?英語上達に効果的な理由

シャドーイング(Shadowing)は、もともとプロの通訳者養成プログラムで開発された言語学習法で、多言語習得者として知られるDr. Alexander Arguelles によって広く普及されました。方法はシンプルですが非常に効果的:ネイティブスピーカーの英語を聞きながら、1〜2秒の遅延で声に出してすぐに繰り返す——まるで「影(shadow)」のように話者を追いかけます。文法ドリルや受動的なリスニングと異なり、シャドーイングは脳と口の筋肉が同時にリアルタイムで英語を処理・再現することを強制します。研究により、発音精度、抑揚、リズム、連音、リスニング力、そして会話の流暢さが大幅に向上することが確認されています。IELTSスピーキング対策や自然な英語コミュニケーションを目指す方に特におすすめです。
