The full video, I believe. Also interesting thing is if the brain really did survive undamaged after 10 minutes of clinical death.

technically your brain could survive for so much time. it would just be damaged to an extent. i believe the medical term is 'vegetable'. and i cant really tell if that dog is just itching by reflex or is actually awake.

there was a doctor that was making experiments duringthe french revolution. the heads severed under the guillottine were brought to him, he would then shout their owner's names and the faces showed signs of reactions. usually by eyelid/eye motion. might have been the same kind of reflex.

reflexes are primitive signals that do not require too complicated brain functions to actually work. do the math. i doubt the dog would for example recognise it's former owner, for example.
