Specialized intensive inpatient rehabilitation is crucial and time-sensitive for functional recovery from disorders of consciousness

open access: yesFrontiers in Neurology, 2023
BackgroundDisorders of consciousness (DoCs) after severe brain injury are considered to be conditions with dire prognosis. Despite the accumulating evidence, inpatient rehabilitation is often denied by payers referring to the Medicare/Medicaid criteria ...

Are we really unconscious in “unconscious” states? Common assumptions revisited

open access: yesFrontiers in Human Neuroscience, 2022
In the field of consciousness science, there is a tradition to categorize certain states such as slow-wave non-REM sleep and deep general anesthesia as “unconscious”. While this categorization seems reasonable at first glance, careful investigations have

A scoping review for building a criticality-based conceptual framework of altered states of consciousness

open access: yesFrontiers in Systems Neuroscience, 2023
The healthy conscious brain is thought to operate near a critical state, reflecting optimal information processing and high susceptibility to external stimuli. Conversely, deviations from the critical state are hypothesized to give rise to altered states

Entropy Metrics Correlating with Higher Residual Functioning in Patients with Chronic Disorders of Consciousness

open access: yesBrain Sciences, 2022
To test the ability of different entropy measures to classify patients with different conditions of chronic disorder of consciousness, we applied the Lempel–Ziv complexity, the amplitude coalition entropy (ACE), and the synchrony coalition entropy (SCE ...
