Interestingly, I have lately been seeing articles saying that humans who have been declared braindead and regained consciousness have reported hearing conversations that took place several hours after the declared brain death. No links, it was a different device and aren't in history, but I'm sure searches will return something. Not vouching for veracity, either.
There was a recent study done where the authors have identified brain activity in people marked as brain dead and who had returned, and who have reported see, which have been validated, events that occurred during the time on the operating table.
Basically the authors have found brain activity hours after the person was marked as dead.
Their study basically argues that ER departments need to change how long they'll work on someone as there are people who could come back but who are being left to die.
