Researchers led by a team at UT Southwestern Medical Center have developed a device that can isolate blood flow to the brain, keeping the organ alive and functioning independent from the rest of the body for several hours.
I’d imagine that since our brains have to interpret all information (not just the sensory we are conscious of, but also incoming “status updates” from all of our anatomical systems) that it would be so confused with the lack of information it would be too over/underwhelmed to spare the energy for organized conscious thought.
