What they really need to do is remove the brains first, then keep them floating at various levels in one giant vat with a big glass wall so you can see them all. I'm thinking supercooled liquid, maybe pale green, although that's awfully traditional. I suppose they could go with something more daring like yellow or sky blue. It also depends on what kind of lights you have flashing on your gigantic instrument panels. And the uniforms your henchmen wear, of course.
Once they've got the color scheme down, all these brains need to be wired together so they can be turned into processor components for a super-computer that tells the future. Or at least one that can beat that damn chicken at checkers.
Darpa: Freeze Soldiers to Save Injured Brains
By Katie Drummond, November 13, 2009
The Pentagon's mad science division has a new way to deal with the 70,000+ troops diagnosed with traumatic brain injury: freeze 'em.
Darpa, the military's far-out research arm, is looking for research projects that would create a "therapeutic hypothermia device" to prevent traumatic brain injuries from causing permanent molecular damage to the brain. The idea is based on successful studies that used cortical cooling to treat survivors of strokes and cardiac arrest. According to Darpa's solicitation, cooling down the brain after trauma can offer "dramatic neuroprotection" that will prevent long-term harm to cognition and motor skills...
