    May I ask, what exactly do you think death is? What you just described is not how death works at all.

        Absolutely not. Biologically, death is defined as the irreversible cessation of all vital functions that keep an organism alive. The brain permanently loses all activity.

        Your brain literally sends electrical signals around your body via your central nervous system. That stops when you die.

          I’m not sure what we’re in apparent disagreement about then. Perhaps you’re thinking in terms of signal output from the brain rather than external signal reception through the senses?

              You do not see ultraviolet light or hear infrasound because you do not have sensory receptors that can detect these as light and sound. When there is or is not ultraviolet light or infrasound, you do not receive a signal of 0 or 1 in your light and sound sensors but there is (for lack of a better word) a null signal. A lack of means to detect something does not communicate that zero or any other amount of that something is present — it is simply obliviousness without necessarily knowing that there is obliviousness.
