Pupil constrictions to subjective brightness as a gateway to probe consciousness in non communicating patients [PDF]
Scientific ReportsRetinal illumination primarily determines pupil size, yet extra-retinal factors like subjective brightness also influence pupillary responses. Previous works reported that in healthy individuals, stimuli whose semantic content evokes brightness cause ...

Polysomnographic Sleep Patterns in Children and Adolescents in Unresponsive Wakefulness Syndrome
Journal of Head Trauma Rehabilitation, 2015 We aimed (i) to search for qualitative sleep patterns for pediatric unresponsive wakefulness syndrome (SPPUWS) in prolonged polysomnographic (PSG) recordings in children and adolescents with subacute severe disorders of consciousness due to an acquired brain damage; (ii) to investigate the clinical relevance of SPPUWS and of possible neurophysiological
