About the book: 2020 / Adrian Owen is a major Canadian scientist, neurophysiologist, who has devoted more than 30 years of his life to researching the processes occurring in the brains of people in a borderline state. His bold experiments made a breakthrough in the understanding of these processes. Owen's research has been featured on television and radio, in print and on the Internet, and has been the subject of television documentaries and radio programs. In 2019, Adrian Owen was awarded the British Commonwealth Order for his contribution to the development of neuroscience. Until recently, there was an opinion in the scientific community that the brain of a person in a vegetative state was practically dead. There has been much discussion about the advisability of connecting a “living corpse” to life support systems when there is no hope of brain recovery. But one day a young Canadian scientist allowed himself to doubt that the so-called “vegetable” people do not feel anything and are not aware of what is happening to them and around them. What if, in the prison of a helpless body, a soul suffers, freezes in horror, unable to contact the outside world? With the support of like-minded people, Adrian Owen developed a series of original experiments to confirm - or refute - his guess. The results of the experiments stunned the scientist, and the “revived” patients were finally able to talk about what they saw and felt in this mysterious “gray zone” - between life and death.
