You do generally need to concentrate for any of those. Or to even learn what you need to know to contribute. Tricky, when your body is a painful scar with some organs in it, and your lungs are mostly a jacuzzi that thinks it’s a Petri dish. The pain killers don’t exactly improve concentration, either.

Remove the brain under general anesthesia and put the rest on ECMO for experiments, then you’ll have that valuable contribution without the suffering.
