Scott Routley has been in what was thought to be a vegetative state since a car accident 12 years ago. By watching brain activity via an fMRI (functional magnetic resonance imaging) machine, British neuroscientist Prof. Adrian Owen was able to deduce that Routley, responding to a question, is telling us he's not in pain (story and videos): http://www.bbc.co.uk/news/health-20268044
