"We tested three different modalities, sensory modalities. His son talked to him, this is the auditory modality; we showed him pictures of the family, this is the visual; and we touched him, his nurse touched him, in his hand, and we tested different modalities. And all of the modalities the brain reacted to the external stimulation which means that the information got into the brain, and was analyzed or was processed within his brain."

STORYLINE
A team of Israeli and U.S. scientists say new tests on comatose former Prime Minister Ariel Sharon show significant brain activity.
Ben-Gurion University said Sharon responded to external stimuli at Soroka Medical Centre in Beersheba.
He was shown pictures of his family and listened to recordings of his son's voice while undergoing a special brain imaging scan.
Alon Friedman, the Director of Neurology at Soroka Medical Centre said on Monday that the former Prime Minster was tested on "three different modalities": Aural, visual and reaction to touch.
"The brain reacted to the external stimulation which means that the information got into the brain, and was analyzed or was processed within his brain," Friedman said.
However, Sharon remains in a vegetative state.
Longtime Sharon confidante, Raanan Gissin, said his old friend deserves to end his life normally.
"The hope is not that he will return to be the leader that he was, but basically the hope of his family as well as the public in Israel, that Sharon will return to normal life, that he could return back to his farm," Gissin said.
Sharon, 84, led Israel from 2001 until suffering a stroke in 2006. Since then, he has been in a vegetative state, connected to a respirator.
Sharon was a storied military officer who fought in three wars before entering politics.
He unilaterally withdrew Israeli troops and settlers from Gaza in 2005.
