Dead Man Talking

Cotard's Syndrome is a rare disorder in which the individual truly believes that he/she or part of him/her has died. One woman who had it died of starvation because she reasoned that, as she was already dead, she didn't need to eat. Recently, for the first time, scientists were able to scan the brain of a person with Cotard's: http://www.newscientist.com/article/dn23583-mindscapes-first-interview-with-a-dead-man.html?full=true
