Latest from Dr Sam Parnia

On that page, where it says "The Illusive Dr Parnia Tweets", does it mean Parnia's posts are illusory or some sort of illusion? Or is the intended word "Elusive" (meaning: difficult to find, catch, or achieve)?

edit: Perhaps the intended meaning is "unclear"?

No, not some sort of illusion. Elusive as in... they are few and far between. I think (and it's just my opinion based on what he's said previously) this is related to experimental tests they are conducting on cardiac arrest patients (in addition to the OBE visual component and the level of oxygen depletion in the brain) whereby they are introducing sounds into the ears after the heart has stopped to help to determine and pin down once and for all the precise capabilities (or rather lack of) of brains after cardiac arrest.

So if they introduce a sound direct into the ear of a patient in cardiac arrest and the patient hears and remembers that sound, then that must mean that the brain is still functioning. (In theory at least) 

Assuming the ears are plugged with this sound and the patient doesn't hear it, but reports external sounds, such as doctors saying very specific things during the resuscitation, then that means there was something else other than the patient's brain that was receiving the information, hence the psyche, separate consciousness.

The funding he's got recently has enabled him to 'go to town' somewhat on this, I would imagine.

My take on this is that we might be wise to forget about it for our own piece of mind because he's not going to publish any results until 2020, but it's just my opinion. Not trying to advise.
