Just a simple question. If brain function ceases completely, but brain cells themselves are more or less intact, can such a brain be revived (with foreseeable future technology)? Or is an ongoing electro-chemical activity in our brain something that is a fundamental requirement for us being who we are?
In other words, is a static image of a brain sufficient to reproduce that brain, or do we need to also track every electronic signal in our neurons as well to fully describe it?
