Somebody dying under the MRI. 

MRIのもとで人が死ぬ瞬間

This is actually pretty cool because before you die, your brain releases tons and tons of endorphins that make you feel a range of emotions.

すごい！

人が死ぬ前に、脳は大量のエンドルフィンを放出し、一定の情動を人に体験させる。

This is why when people die, they see things like “a light” and they feel so euphoric. ~psychology, yo

それで、人は死ぬときに「光」のようなものを見たりとても幸福な気分になる。

 ah, you can see his trachea convulsing too—when a person dies they let out all excess air in their lungs, the “death rattle.”

Whether like or dislike to see, this is the most amazing picture to realize what will be going on our brain at our — literally —  final moment.

すごいすごい。これは凄い。まじなのだろうか。これが実物かどうか（原文とかよんでないけど）はおいといてこの方法でいろいろわかんじゃんっていう方法だっていうだけでも十分すごい。やべー。やっべー。これもう次はセックス、入眠、起床、ひらめき時、とやってこう。あと天才的な人のひらめきと普通の人のひらめきも是非比較して欲しい。天才のひらめきは凡人のセックスより気持ちいい可能性あるかんね。死のあたりにフォーカスしてもこれは凄い。

これが本当なら、苦しみ抜いたあいつも死の瞬間は幸せだったのかなぁ、と思った。
