Can you imagine a life whereby people think that you are comatose but you are not? Your brain is still functioning. Some scientists think a good number of supposedly comatose people areeally alert to what is going on around them. The primary example of this is Rom Houben, the victim of a severe auto accident in 1983.
Mr. Houben lived the life of the comatose for twenty-three years when in 2006. for some unknown reason, he was the beneficiary of advances made in brain technology at the start of this century. A scan of his brain showed that his brain was working. With the help of more technology he is now able to communicate with the world.
