In what way is presentating a brain "ultimate disprespect"? Do you honestly think the deceased took offense at their brain being put on public display?
Talk about missing the forest (content of presentation) for the trees. Maybe watch the video, it's extraordinary. Presenter had a massive stroke (8 year recovery) and, for some reason, awakened as a result.
Anyway, the wiki [0] may help explain why the presenter, a scientist specializing in the "postmortem investigation of the human brain as it relates to schizophrenia and the severe mental illnesses", would bring a brain on stage at a TED talk ;-)
