Evidence and Implications of InterZOMBIE Communication
ABSTRACT
Individuals with Zooanthroponotic Occult MetaBiomimetic Infectious Encephalitis (ZOMBIE) have been thought to function in a vegetated state with no cognitive abilities or memories from their disease-free human origins. Anecdotal observations of group aggregation, reciprocal and coordinated sound production, and changes in behavior following apparent eye contact have, however, been reported in ZOMBIE populations. To provide guidance to ZOMBIE management, in this study, sound production, recognition, and response were evaluated in ZOMBIE populations. A total of 57,614 sounds were recorded and categorized into 28 distinct vocalizations, with the grunt, mumble, sigh, moan, grumble, purr, and sniff vocalizations the most frequently recorded. Differences in vocalization frequencies in populations in Canada, Argentina, Russia, and the United States may be attributable to the effects of population density. Brain activity assessed via functional magnetic resonance imaging (fMRI) and behavioral evaluations of responses to one uncommon (weep) and two common (sigh and grunt) vocalizations revealed recognition, response, and differential processing to these vocalizations indicating possible emotional cognizance in ZOMBIEs as well as changes in recognition and/or response with increasing disease saturation. Comparisons of the processing of language by disease-free individuals and ZOMBIEs revealed differences in activity in Broca’s area as well as in its non-dominant hemisphere homolog that may preclude the ability to speak and express emotion in ZOMBIEs despite apparent perception and understanding of language and emotion. These conclusions contradict assumptions about ZOMBIE cognition that may require a re-evaluation of current methods of ZOMBIE control and management.
