Scientists Restore Some Function In The Brains Of Dead Pigs

The image on the left shows the brains of pigs that were untreated for 10 hours after death, with neurons appearing as green, astrocytes as red and cell nuclei as blue. The image on the right shows cells in the same area of brains that, four hours after death, were hooked up to a system that the Yale University researchers call BrainEx. Stefano G.

They already outperform the brains of an average dummpcrap.

They consistently beat a0c at checkers.

The brains of dead pigs have been somewhat revived by scientists hours after the animals were killed in a slaughterhouse...

...And the democrat party immediately registered them to vote in 2020.

Cellular function is nice but ya need inspiration to get ‘em to sing the same note..

at best, zombies in a pen,

worst case, uhh .. also best case to some.. bacon

Ah, fond memories of the only Tales From the Crypt cartoon I’ve seen, R-Rated on Cable TV, “The Third Pig”.

Lets see them do that with live pigs.

Kickass! Zombie pigs are good but I think we can do better.

Let's see. Most real world processes are controlled by non-linear differential equations which are hyper-sensitive to initial conditions. These sorts of problems have no closed form solution, only numerical solutions based on initial conditions. Even a variation of initial conditions in the 100th decimal place can cause wildly divergent results.

How do these "scientists" know their initial conditions are correct? If I were a crooked "scientist" I would fudge the initial conditions until I got the desired outcome. It's easy because the changes to the data need to be ever so slight.

Furthermore, why don't they use their talents to predict the winner of the next years Superbowl. Surely such a problem is far less intractable than worldwide climate phenomena

Great. Zombie bigs.

Sadly, there must be some initial brain function for this process to work.

meh, it’s like an old TV- you unplug it, but it’s still got some juice in it-

"If it's a dead animal, it's not subject to any research protections because you wouldn't expect that it would suffer from any pain or distress or need to be thought about in terms of humane care," Farahany says. But if that animal's brain can be even partially revived, she asks, then "what do we need to do immediately, today, in order to ensure that there's adequate protections in place for animal research subjects?"

"Once a human dies and their tissue is in a laboratory, there are many fewer restrictions on what can be done," Grady says. "It is interesting to think about this issue in light of this experiment."

I smell baby snatchers.

Hmmm. Mitochondrial capacitance?

[Jewbacca]

[Bob434]

could be perhaps? The body does store and use energy- it woudl seem as though an electrical charge might still be around after death- i dunno- not too up on this stuff-

What happens to Muslims if they have contact with an undead pig?
