Jelly connected to the electroencephalograph (EEG), gives evidence related to the signals of the human brain

EEG - a device which records brain activity. With its help physicians determine the time when main processes in the brain, such as, e.g., pupillary response to light, stop. Typically, this means that the brain is already dead. With the help of this experiment have revealed that the most ordinary food jelly can distort readings EEG. Jelly connected to the device converts some action occurring in the room into signals mimic signals brain. Such actions may be power surges, water dripping from a faucet or a phone call.

Neuroscientist Adrian Upton conducted an experiment on the connection to jelly, to prove that the testimony of the EEG can not be the only reason a person off from the life-support systems when EEG has already registered the death of his brain. Doctors need to be more cautious, says Adrian, and combine different ways to check the to be absolutely sure that the patient is actually dead.
