Apparently dead salmon can think-- according to the results of some MRI brain scanning research done at Dartmouth. This reminds me of Bob's earlier post about the decrease of the placebo effect; when placebos were introduced into pharmacological trials, it was a huge wakeup call for everybody developing medicines at the time as it was shown that they weren't as effective as people thought. These researchers have now challenged the validity of current analysis techniques of MRIs by publicising some ridiculous results.
