They were able to keep the brains alive for 36 hours.

What was that like? Assuming the brain is alive, it has no sensory input from the body. So assuming the "identity" or "mind" the pig is there, what did it really experience during this time being just a brain without any body attached to it? Basically nothing?

So no real brain activity then, meaning that while being "alive" they were essentially being like a TV that was off. Or something?

tell you what they do know--the brain is active for at least 10 minutes after legal death...what dreams must come?

I guess it's like when a patient is comatose, they're not conscious but are alive.
