We have mixed up all the determiners (a, an, the, that, this) from the text, try and correctly place them.
Can an unconscious person be aware of his surroundings? Part 2 (Teacher: Michael)
He believes
Select
the
this
a
that
an
This
when one billion microtubules attain
Select
the
this
a
that
an
This
same chemical state for 500 milliseconds,
Select
the
this
a
that
an
This
causes
Select
the
this
a
that
an
This
quantum "event" in
Select
the
this
a
that
an
This
brain and
Select
the
this
a
that
an
This
these events make up our thoughts. We still cannot measure brain "consciousness" but Penrose's theory suggests
Select
the
this
a
that
an
This
way
Select
the
this
a
that
an
This
Select
the
this
a
that
an
This
may be possible in
Select
the
this
a
that
an
This
future.
The Lancet article suggests
Select
the
this
a
that
an
This
Select
the
this
a
that
an
This
person may have some awareness of his surroundings even though he is unconscious. Researchers in Holland interviewed 344 patients, who recovered, from
Select
the
this
a
that
an
This
coma after their hearts had stopped beating for up to" five minutes due to
Select
the
this
a
that
an
This
heart attack. Forty-one of these patients said
Select
the
this
a
that
an
This
they were able to recall
Select
the
this
a
that
an
This
period of time when they were unconscious. They were aware
Select
the
this
a
that
an
This
they were "dead" and 15 had
Select
the
this
a
that
an
This
experience
Select
the
this
a
that
an
This
they were floating above their "dead" body, watching medical staff trying to resuscitate them.
One particular patient was correctly able to describe
Select
the
this
a
that
an
This
room he was in when he was deeply unconscious and saw
Select
the
this
a
that
an
This
nurse take his dentures and put them in
Select
the
this
a
that
an
This
particular drawer -
Select
the
this
a
that
an
This
nurse later confirmed these details. In another report,
Select
the
this
a
that
an
This
woman accurately related events
Select
the
this
a
that
an
This
occurred when she was unconscious and
Select
the
this
a
that
an
This
brain wave test (electroencephalogram). showed no brain activity.
It has been suggested
Select
the
this
a
that
an
This
these phenomena are either tricks of
Select
the
this
a
that
an
This
memory or psychological responses to
Select
the
this
a
that
an
This
very traumatic situation.
Select
the
this
a
that
an
This
does not explain however, how patients could register details during
Select
the
this
a
that
an
This
period when they were unconscious. Further research is going on to confirm
Select
the
this
a
that
an
This
Select
the
this
a
that
an
This
really does occur, but if confirmed, it suggests
Select
the
this
a
that
an
This
patients who appear to be unconscious might still have some "conscious" brain awareness. How
Select
the
this
a
that
an
This
could occur cannot be explained by our current knowledge of how
Select
the
this
a
that
an
This
brain works.
