I find the use of the term “clinical trial” amusing, as it implies that they are using a randomized design. Yes, randomization is usually necessary but if you are somehow able to revive dead brains (!) I really don’t see much of a need for a control group..
On a related point, I wish someone had implemented Robin Hanson’s idea for prediction markets on the outcome of scientific studies.
