Good evening,
From study of the neurological scans from the recently recovered officers as compared to the comatose civilians from almost a year ago, I believe we have a method for reversing the damage caused to the latter group and possibly reviving them. The following attachments contain an indepth summary and breakdown of my assessments of where the neurological damage in the comatose patients actually is and what surgical procedures might need to happen in order to reverse it.
I will attempt to summarize my methodology. From evaluating the most recent scans taken from the recently recovered officers, there is evidence of tampering, if only in a most benign sort of way. Doctor Asuna's assessment refers to neglible changes in the synapses, which is accurate. However, when I compared these scans to older ones for each relevant patient, some interesting patterns emerged, especially when I took into account the number of puncture wounds that were recorded with each subject. My conclusion is that specific synapses were targetted, severed, and then re-attached in different configurations, then again re-severed and re-attached in their original configurations.
For what purpose this was done, we can only speculate. If I had to guess, the Azedi were perhaps attempting to glean information or memories by brute-forcing connections and cataloguing their results. I have no idea whether or not this method could possibly be effective, but it is certainly slow and incredibly risky to the patients, as we can see in the civilian group.
In any case, I have been able to isolate the particular pattern of micro-incisions that were made repeatedly in the officer group, including offsets and variation patterns. My preliminary application of the patterns to the comatose subject scans has been promising, though not perfect. Variations exist based on species of the subject and some even have different scaling, while others seem to have stopped mid-pattern.
I have attached my analyses for peer review. A skilled neurosurgeon will be needed for the actual procedures, should we wish to attempt them.
