The title is a little misleading. It's about connecting the brain up to an external blood supply, basically, so it can continue to live without the heart and lungs running (useful for surgery, perhaps) and so in theory changes in blood chemistry affects the brain can be experimented on without also having to deal with different metabolic/chemical signals from the rest of the body. No brains were removed from their skulls
- xwdv 3y agoThere was recently an article posted about inducing lucid dreams on demand. Why not remove a brain from a skull and induce lucid dreams on it perpetually? Perhaps then there could be a way to read brainwaves to see how the mind is doing, maybe even extract crude imagery. Perhaps this a way to offer some life extension for the terminally ill.
