Detecting number processing and mental calculation in patients with disorders of consciousness using a hybrid brain-computer interface system [PDF]
Background: For patients with disorders of consciousness such as coma, a vegetative state or a minimally conscious state, one challenge is to detect and assess the residual cognitive functions in their brains. Number processing and mental calculation are

Distinct interactions between fronto-parietal and default mode networks in impaired consciousness [PDF]
Existing evidence suggests that the default-mode network (DMN) and fronto-pariatal network (FPN) play an important role in altered states of consciousness.

A protocol for EEG biological feedback (BFB) at infra-low frequencies (<0.01 Hz) corresponding to those of the brain default mode network has been devised in recent years.Objective: to evaluate the therapeutic features of an EEG BFB technique in the ...

A Bayesian statistical analysis of behavioral facilitation associated with deep brain stimulation [PDF]
Deep brain stimulation (DBS) is an established therapy for Parkinson's Disease and is being investigated as a treatment for chronic depression, obsessive compulsive disorder and for facilitating functional recovery of patients in minimally conscious ...

The Minimally Conscious State [PDF]
Limited epidemiologic data undermine the identification of patients in a minimally conscious state (MCS) and needed health policy analysis. Based on the natural history of disorders of consciousness and the evolution of MCS, we propose 2 models to characterize MCS epidemiology: a severity model to integrate diagnostic and severity of injury codes, such

Disruption of transfer entropy and inter-hemispheric brain functional connectivity in patients with disorder of consciousness [PDF]

Neurophysiological and Behavioral Responses to Music Therapy in Vegetative and Minimally Conscious States [PDF]
Assessment of awareness for those with disorders of consciousness is a challenging undertaking, due to the complex presentation of the population. Debate surrounds whether behavioral assessments provide greatest accuracy in diagnosis compared to neuro ...
