These experiments were conducted to test the hypothesis that even though a person is in a vegetative state, the mind can understand and the brain can respond, which demonstrates conscious awareness. In these experiments the subject is given verbal instructions by an experimenter to think (imagine) specific mental activities such as playing tennis. The experiments demonstrated that there is a correlation between the suggested mental activity and brain response in MRI scanners. It is my contention that the suggestions offered by the experimenters can also be delivered by the use of telepathy instead of speech. This version of the experiment would not only demonstrate the existence of conscious awareness whilst in a vegetative state, but also that such persons can be communicated with on a regular basis using telepathy. Now that would be really interesting, but who is brave enough to conduct such an experiment?
