I don't understand the meme. The figure is from a paper about false positive readings in MRIs, using a dead salmon supposedly thinking, and the meme is suggesting... the fish was alive?

Not much context + vague point = poor excuse for a meme.

Add the context that this is a dead salmon, then claim that salmon are immortal of something, idk.

Thanks for the feedback, I was guessing this was the reason 🙂

thanks for the explanation. i guess it really doesn't work as a meme if I've doesn't happen to know this particular image.
