With exponential decay of brain electrical activity and a halving time of 24 
hours, for example, at t = 48 h you might see 25% of the original level measured
at t = 0 h.


BTW, how does this compare with survivable ways of suppressing brain electrical 
activity in vivo through drugs or other means?

will be indefinite. Disease and disability will nonexist. Death wll be rare and 
accidental -- but not permanent. We will continuously jettison our obsolescence 
and grow younger." F.M. Esfandiary, "Up-Wing Priorities" (1981).
