Richard Hammond explains what he experienced during his coma | 310mph Crash | Insight into non-local consciousness

Richard Hammond, a presenter on the popular car show "Top Gear," was involved in a serious car crash while filming in 2006. He was in a coma for weeks following the accident. However, he has since recovered and continues to work as a television presenter and journalist. In the video below, he discusses his experience with non-local consciousness during the coma, while his doctors were predicting a poor outcome and saying it was hopeless, his wife kept the faith. The video is short and it's a great story.

Unlocking the Secrets of Consciousness: How Sound Waves Could Solve One of Science's Greatest Mysteries

By Sy Phipps

For decades, consciousness has remained one of science's most tantalizing enigmas. Where in the brain does the spark of awareness occur? How do electrochemical signals transform into subjective experience—the feeling of seeing red, the sensation of pain, or the awareness of your own thoughts? Scientists have long struggled to answer these questions, but a groundbreaking technology may finally provide the tools to crack this ancient mystery.

Researchers at MIT have published a roadmap for using transcranial focused ultrasound—a technique that uses precisely targeted sound waves to stimulate specific brain regions—to probe the neural foundations of consciousness itself. Their work, published in Neuroscience and Biobehavioral Reviews this January, represents a paradigm shift in how scientists can study the human mind.
