The conversation between human and AI assistant.
When my brother was brain dead he opened his eyes and tried to sit up then closed them and died the next day, what was that?
Yes, please. What causes these reflexive movements in brain dead patients?
From what I could find, reflexive movements in brain dead patients can result from spinal reflexes that are still intact, even when the brain is no longer functioning. These movements can sometimes be misinterpreted as a sign of consciousness, but medical professionals are trained to recognize these reflexes and respond accordingly.
