Interesting news.

I look forward to reading your reports on the evidence supporting such
innovative speculation.

This is of course in total conflict with my personal theory of neural
cognition, which holds that the brain is an amorphous mass of tissue
that forms the host matrix for an ever growing and branching network
of neurons constituting what is conceptually a dynamic 4-D database
ROM having implicit fuzzy logic recall resolution capabilities. Hence,
I have no need to invoke quantum effects at all with my model.

My preliminary experimentation with bovine brains has, thus far, not
refuted my theoretical model.  I'd call that half-way to a proof,
wouldn't you?

My next step will be to electrically stimulate the brain, and observe
that the reponse correlates with by theoretical premise. Unfortunatly,
progress in this specific research has been problematic, since the
brain tissue has not responded as predicted.  I'm currently trying to
isolate the nature of this temporary roadblock, but in all honesty my
progress here has been discouragingly slow.

I believe that the problem is due to the extremely low temperature to
which the brain tissue has been exposed, but the butcher shop from
which I obtain my specimens has not been fully cooperative, insisting
that all unpreserved animal products must be refrigerated. Fools!

In an attempt to change my experimental protocol in midstream, bad
scientific practice I know, I'm now attempting to obtain fresh,
unrefrigerated human brain tissue, however, I've found that every
pathologist and mortician that I've contacted so far is unsympathetic
to my needs.  The bastards!

Given that my work requires fresh brains, it appears that my only
option is to become a criminal, obtaining them in situ.  What else can
a reasonable person do?   :-)
