I was talking with a doctor friend of mine about cryonics, and the 
revivability of frozen folks, and he speculated that some important
element of consciousness might be lost when electrical activity in
the brain ceases. 

So I was wondering if anyone has done an EEG of one of these cold
animals that have been successfully revived, and whether that EEG
went flat or not? I'm presuming that none of the people who fell into
frozen lakes and survived after prolonged periods without much 
metabolism were brainscanned before their revival.
