The recent discussions re: CONSCIOUSNESS in this group have been
fascinating; now that they have subsided I would like to take
things a step further. 
Does anyone have any thoughts about what might happen if you could
*entirely* isolate a brain from any sensory input? This is purely
hypothetical of course, as it would be impossible to test, but what
I'm getting at is the inherent stability of the neural system
deprived of sensory throughput.
I have some thoughts on this, but will wait to hear anyones own
first thoughts before leading/misleading their ideas!
