FYI, EEG collapses after few 10 s of stopped blood flow. After 30 sec
you'll get essentially perfectly flat EEG. If you resuscitate at this
point, things resume normal operation, the spatiotemporal activity
attractors are quite stable.

Thanks to modern medicine there are a lot of zombies out there.
