Normal Brain Response to Propofol in Advance of Recovery from Unresponsive Wakefulness Syndrome [PDF]

Frontiers in Human Neuroscience, 2016
Up to 40% of individuals with unresponsive wakefulness syndrome (UWS) actually might be conscious. Recent attempts to detect covert consciousness in behaviorally unresponsive patients via neurophysiological patterns are limited by the need to compare ...
