Hypnotherapy Derby, Ripley. New Theory Of Consciousness

The whole theory of our consciousness is up in the air after doctors communicated with a man who had been in a vegatative state for a number of years. The doctors noticed the man was showing signs of awareness and after tests using an MRI scanner, they concluded he had answered 5 out of 6 questions correctly by changing his brain waves.

The simple questions such as asking his fathers name (Thomas) including trying to test the patient by giving him an incorrect answer i.e is your fathers name Brian? This just goes to show that there is still much to be learned about our states of awareness and how we operate within these states.According to the report published in the new England Journal of Medicine, not everyone with brain trauma can respond like this but this must be the news that many families of brain injured patients have been waiting for. To think that their loved ones have been listening to them whilst at their bedsides much be a mixed bag of happiness tainted with the sorrow of not being able to hear them reply.

The human brain is a fascinating thing, and we may never know its extreme complexities but science is continuing to give us at least some answers.
