observe never-before- detected brain activity  17 September 2013
Université de Montréal  Researchers from the University of
Montreal and their colleagues have found brain activity beyond a
flat line EEG, which they have called Nu-complexes (from the
Greek letter n). According to existing scientific data,
researchers and doctors had established that beyond the so-
called "flat line" (flat electroencephalogram or EEG), there is
nothing at all, no brain activity, no possibility of life. This
major discovery suggests that there is a whole new frontier in
animal and human brain functioning.  The researchers observed a
human patient in an extreme deep hypoxic coma under powerful
anti-epileptic medication that he had been required to take due
to his health issues. “Dr. Bogdan Florea from Romania contacted
our research team because he had observed unexplainable
phenomena on the EEG of a coma patient. We realized that there
