Scientists are trying to find out what happens when the human body is exposed to high temperatures. They want to know if there's a limit to how hot we can go before our bodies shut down and die.

The scientists also asked him to recall 15 words using his short-term memory: Drum, curtain, bell, coffee, Turkey, house, river.
