>>>I'm surprised that John appears to believe this. The article names an  

alleged researcher, but this sounds so absurd that I would be astonished beyond
measure if it were true.


It actually is true. It is very old news though (2004). The researcher is Thomas
deMarse at the University of Florida Biomedical Engineering department 
(http://www.bme.ufl.edu/research/projects/detail_researchproject.php?RP_id=5). 
Maybe a better article at http://www.cnn.com/2004/TECH/11/02/brain.dish/.


But I strongly second the idea of considering this type of experiment or 
something like it to test cryonics ...
