We can 'talk' to plant people

By scanning the brains of patients living plants, the famous British neurologist studied, compared and concluded: They still know and feel everything!

Long-term plant life patients are thought to be brain dead. Some people who are too loving they always believe that they are still there, still listening, still know about the world around them.

Some others, even many doctors, thought they had no idea.

To answer the question of whether plants feel the world around them, the famous British neurologist - Dr Adrian Owen (currently working at the Institute of Brain and Reason, University of Western Ontario, Canada ) has revealed some of the "legendary" research journeys that made his reputation: Communicating with plant people.

Dr. Owen and his team used a brain scanner to test a lot of plant-life patients and healthy people, thereby comparing expressions, analysis and distillation into messages.

In 1997, as a researcher at Addenbrooke Hospital, University of Cambridge, he used a brain scanner to check his first plant patient - Kate, while showing her pictures of her family. .

"To my surprise, she showed a reaction in an area of ​​the brain called fusiform gyrus , related to facial recognition" . A few months later, Kate began to get up, escaping from the plant state in the doctors' surprise.

A few years later, Kate wrote to Dr. Owen: "Use my case to show people the importance of brain scanning. I can't respond with gestures and my condition looks hopeless. but the brain scan showed people that I was there! It was like a miracle. It found me. "

Kate opened a large-scale study later. Surveys show that 15% -20% of people in the UK think plant people are literally like it - not more aware of a tree!

However, research has proven they are fully aware, although never react to external stimuli.

Another "crazy" test, in the way Owen said, carried out on a 23-year-old woman named Carol, who suffered a traffic accident. She was determined to have fallen into a plant state despite being saved. Carol, through the slightly modern 2005 scanner, was asked to imagine herself playing tennis. Amazingly, her brain worked similarly to the activities recorded in healthy volunteers, when they were playing tennis!

They went on to ask the young girl to imagine herself at home, visualizing furniture, pictures, doors, walls, walking from room to room. The results are quite similar to healthy volunteers who are actually doing what experts ask."We found her!" - Owen was touched.

However, it is heartbreaking that the therapist and family do not believe in the achievements of the scientific group, even if there are "living witnesses" Kate. Carol was taken home for a long time and the doctor never saw her again.

In 2012, a major turning point for the team on a patient named Scott, who lived a 12-year plant life. More modern facilities have enabled scientists to receive signals immediately from two tennis and indoor walking tests. Then, by controlling his imagination, Scott answered a yes / no question; and even let people know the hobby.

The family then adjusted the television to the direction of Scott's bed so he could keep track of his favorite hockey sport. However, Scott died in September 2013 because of a medical complication related to the accident 12 years ago.

Dr. Owen's research is still ongoing. He expects that with the outstanding development of brain scanning technology, communication with plant people will not only call in the space of scientific research."We will be able to find patients, contact them, listen to their wishes" - he said.

"They said I couldn't feel pain. They were wrong like that . A strong thirst often comes to me. Sometimes I cry (nurses think it's just a reflex). I try to keep breathing. My body doesn't seem to want to die.
