  • Top 10 Bizarre Science Experiments
     OP - January 16, 2011, 01:41 AM
    Below are ten scientific experiments that really make you wonder, “Why?” Though they may have provided some sort of new information to the experimenters, the experiments all together really seem bizarre.

    I wonder whether this dog was still conscious?  Weird!

    Quote
    You probably know all about the popular use of the guillotine during the French Revolution, which severed many heads. You may have even heard the numerous accounts of people seeing heads’ eyes blink after being severed. With these observations, many started to wonder if it was possible to keep a severed head alive. Soon enough, Sergey Brukhonenko, a Soviet physician in the 1920s decided to test this theory. Since using a human head would seem a little crazy, Brukhonenko decided to use a dog’s head, which he was able to successfully keep alive with the use of a machine he made known as an “autojector.” The machine acted like the dog’s heart and lungs, and to prove that the dog was still alive, Brukhonenko would shine a light in its eyes and it would blink. He’d also slam a heavy object on the table and the dog would flinch, and he even went as far to feed the dog food, which just fell out of its throat. By responding to stimuli, it was obvious that the dog’s head was in fact alive.

    There is a youtube video showing the dog.  I'll let you look for it though. 
    So once again I'm left with the classic Irish man's dilemma, do I eat the potato or do I let it ferment so I can drink it later?

    Nah, I'll give it a miss (but I was close) - anyone who's got the balls report back

    hmmm. maybe I should have my head attached to such a device. I would say whatever I want and no one could kick my then nonexistent ass.

    The undetermined is if higher brain functions persist or if it is lower brain fuctions/ reflexes that only survive

    i saw the vid... the head really reacts to the sound, touches, lite and taste.... but anyway this was not a pointless experiment... The dog proved that you can live without vital organs, and hence today we have artificial everything (except brain Cheesy)

    Just look at the sun and the moon, rotating around the earth perfectly! Out of all the never ending space in the universe, the sun and moon ended up close to earth rotating around it perfectly.!!

    "live" might connote too much. We know that plenty of people "live" without higher brain functions.  It would be better to know if concousness can survive such an event like decapitation.

    well it depends how long it took the Doc to cut the Dog and hook it up in the maschine... Brain gets damaged a lot in a short time if it stayes without oxygen... So you have a point when saying that what looked like a "living" dog, doesn't mean that it was Lessie with all his memories and love for the doctor, but instead it was just Lessie's head reacting to outside influences through instincts ...

    What would you guess is the answer to your question?
