Quizplus · Accepted Answer

Owen and colleagues' research found that the young woman's brain responded in the same manner as a healthy brain when she was asked to imagine visiting rooms of her house.

However, the research did not indicate that she awakened from the vegetative state or described which rooms she was visiting. It also did not mention any lack of measurable reaction to the stimuli.
