Objectives: Determine if contextual processing of auditory regularities (local-global paradigm) modulate the heartbeat-evoked responses (HERs), and if these modulations may provide complementary information to the auditory related potentials to ...

[The unresponsive wakefulness syndrome: Dutch perspectives]. [PDF]
The unresponsive wakefulness syndrome (UWS), formerly known as the vegetative state, is one of the most dramatic outcomes of acquired brain injury. Patients with UWS open their eyes spontaneously but demonstrate only reflexive behavior; there are no signs of consciousness.

The Diagnostic Value of Visual Evoked Potentials in Chronic Disorders of Consciousness. [PDF]
ABSTRACT Objective In chronic disorders of consciousness (DOCs), the distinction between vegetative state/unresponsive wakefulness syndrome (VS/UWS) and minimally conscious state (MCS) is as crucial as it is challenging. Evoked potentials (EPs) and event‐related potentials (ERPs) are helpful, but some limitations prevent their consistent use in the ...

Outcome Prediction of Consciousness Disorders in the Acute Stage Based on a Complementary Motor Behavioural Tool. [PDF]
Attaining an accurate diagnosis in the acute phase for severely brain-damaged patients presenting Disorders of Consciousness (DOC) is crucial for prognostic validity; such a diagnosis determines further medical management, in terms of therapeutic choices

BCI performance and brain metabolism profile in severely brain-injured patients without response to command at bedside [PDF]
peer reviewedDetection and interpretation of signs of "covert command following" in patients with disorders of consciousness (DOC) remains a challenge for clinicians. In this study, we used a tactile P3-based BCI in 12 patients without behavioral command

Detecting Brain Activity Following a Verbal Command in Patients With Disorders of Consciousness
BackgroundThe accurate assessment of patients with disorders of consciousness (DOC) is a challenge to most experienced clinicians. As a potential clinical tool, functional magnetic resonance imaging (fMRI) could detect residual awareness without the need

Recent research suggests that brain-heart interactions are associated with perceptual and self-consciousness. In this line, the neural responses to visceral inputs have been hypothesized to play a leading role in shaping our subjective experience.
