Recently, somato has come to be used in the words to describe the flashback of one's lifetime memory, such as somato phenomenon (a flashback phenomenon) and somato experience (a flashback experience), which is said to be experienced by a dying person --- or which a near-death experiencer says he (or she) saw.
近年では、人が死に際に体験するといわれる（臨死体験をした人が「見た」と語っている）一生の記憶のリピート現象の表現として用いられている（走馬灯現象または走馬灯体験）。
