There was recently an article posted about inducing lucid dreams on demand. Why not remove a brain from a skull and induce lucid dreams on it perpetually? Perhaps then there could be a way to read brainwaves to see how the mind is doing, maybe even extract crude imagery.

Perhaps this a way to offer some life extension for the terminally ill.

Needs some way to turn it off. Don't want to be trapped in your own little hell.
