Brain scans show patient can follow plot and react with excitement from the Daily Mail [of the UK]
"34-year-old was left unresponsive after a cardiac arrest 16 years ago. Scientists showed an eight minute clip of 'Bang! You're Dead' to patient. His brain patterns showed activity linked to anticipation and excitement. One in five 'vegetative' patients are misdiagnosed as being unconscious. This and similar studies may reveal the number is higher, scientists say."
