Shangraw Gap 0.65
The Shangraw Gap study reveals a neural signature that differentiates living and dying brains. Living brains exhibit a bicoherence of 0.19, while dying brains spike to 0.771 for 87 seconds. This research suggests a transition from broadcasting to receiving information as the brain approaches death.
- ▪Living brains maintain a bicoherence of approximately 0.19 during sleep.
- ▪Dying brains experience a spike to 0.771 and hold this state for 87 seconds.
- ▪The study indicates that the high bicoherence in dying brains is a signature of a receiver, not a transmitter.

The Shangraw Gap A neural signature for the living brain that vanishes at death. Discovery Living brains maintain 45-Hz bicoherence at ~0.19. Dying brains spike to 0.771 and hold for 87 seconds.
