In the research conducted by Lukasz M. Konopka (2015), he explains that there also exist cases in which the brain functions are completely inexistent, leading to the possibility of a state of consciousness that is outside of space or time (pp. 392-393). His suggestion proposes that this unstudied consciousness is linked to quantum physics (Konopka, 2015, p. 393).
