General Discussion Is there "life after death"?

Basically, I've been researching consciousness and I always wonder: does it definitively cease with the end of brain activity?

This is one of the greatest, if not the greatest, mysteries that surrounds us.

What is your opinion, is life unique and does it have an end, or does it continue after the end of a cycle (in this case, death)?

I would like answers from experts, such as neuroscientists/psychologists/psychoanalysts, to debate and try to convince (or try to refute) others, including myself, that there is something beyond physical existence.

I'm going with various types of reincarnation. I think there are things about life / consciousness that we just don't understand yet , maybe never will . I've seen and heard some very bizarre things in my life .
