Detecting cortical index of arousal in sleeping patients with unresponsive wakefulness syndrome
Consciousness is assumed to be defined by two components: awareness and arousal. However, compared with awareness, the cortical index for arousal remains lacking in clues. Since patients with unresponsive wakefulness syndrome (UWS) are supposed to have no awareness but arousal, sleep-wake cycle in patients with UWS may reflect pure arousal fluctuations,

INTRODUCTION: Following severe acute brain damage, patients typically evolve from coma to an unresponsive wakefulness syndrome/vegetative state (UWS/VS; wakefulness without awareness) and later to a minimally conscious state (MCS; fluctuating but ...
