Spectral signatures of reorganised brain networks in disorders of consciousness [PDF]
, 2014 Theoretical advances in the science of consciousness have proposed that it is concomitant with balanced cortical integration and differentiation, enabled by efficient networks of information transfer across multiple scales. Here, we apply graph theory to

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

Sleep in disorders of consciousness [PDF]
Sleep Medicine Reviews, 2010 From a behavioral as well as neurobiological point of view, sleep and consciousness are intimately connected. A better understanding of sleep cycles and sleep architecture of patients suffering from disorders of consciousness (DOC) might therefore improve the clinical care for these patients as well as our understanding of the neural correlations of ...
