Is It Possible To Catch Murders By The Retina?

[Road Runner]

I saw this really interesting video and I'm on the fence about it. A part of me says that it isn't possible, because once a person is deceased their brain no longer works and I think your brain is in charge of telling you what you see. On the other hand,.. this idea doesn't seem all that far fetched either. What do you guys think?

How Forensic Scientists Once Tried to "See" a Dead Person's Last Sight

Scientists once believed that the dead's last sight could be resolved from their extracted eyeballs

But the idea was tried in a couple of movies and tv shows.

Videos aren't always the gospel truth you know. It's perfectly normal to have questions after them no matter what they say even if this one was debunked.

Yes, but you took some biology and maybe some physiology in high school or college. There really wasn't much question, was there?
I have often thought, even looking at the college students that was around me, one of the biggest problems in America is people blowing off what they were taught and tested on, as if all the classed were just BS to get a grade and then dump as a useless waste.

You never had any questions in school? No offense or anything but I highly doubt that. Oh yeah and a lot of things taught in school was a waste. Not all, but a lot.

Complete, total, bollocks.

Our retinas don't retain whole images, they retain pixels of that images in individual nerve cells. Without a functioning brain to assemble and interpret those images, there is no image. The nerve cells don't retain the image, they simply respond to the next image.

In any case, individual cells of the retina will quickly die after blood ceases to flow to the retinal artery.
