Dissociations between spontaneous electroencephalographic features and the perturbational complexity index in the minimally conscious state

European Journal of Neuroscience
The analysis of spontaneous electroencephalogram (EEG) is a cornerstone in the assessment of patients with disorders of consciousness (DoC). Although preserved EEG patterns are highly suggestive of consciousness even in unresponsive patients, moderately ...
