Have you heard about the fact that the Arctic ground squirrel, when frozen, cuts off the electricity of the brain and then turns it on? This is a mystery as far as I know?
My question will probably be funny? I want to know if it is possible to repeat this in humans?

cuts off the electricity of the brain and then turns it on?

That is an exaggeration, if you read the article carefully.

Our whole bodies, run on electricity.

And the squirrels have an unusually low residual state in hibernation.

Electricity is not turned on and off like a light switch, it is an integral part of body processes.
