Substantial progress has been made over the past two decades in detecting, predicting and
promoting recovery of consciousness in patients with disorders of consciousness (DoC) …

Over the last years, a surge of empirical studies converged on complexity-related measures
as reliable markers of consciousness across many different conditions, such as sleep …

Over the past decades, electroencephalography (EEG) has become a widely applied and
highly sophisticated brain monitoring tool in a variety of intensive care unit (ICU) settings …

Neuroethical questions raised by recent advances in the diagnosis and treatment of
disorders of consciousness are rapidly expanding, increasingly relevant and yet …

Neurophysiological markers can overcome the limitations of behavioural assessments of
Disorders of Consciousness (DoC). EEG alpha power emerged as a promising marker for …

Each neuroimaging technique conveys advantages and pitfalls to assess consciousness.
We recommend a multimodal approach in which complementary techniques provide …

Early reemergence of consciousness predicts long-term functional recovery for patients with
severe brain injury. However, tools to reliably detect consciousness in the intensive care unit …

Coma and disorders of consciousness (DoC) are highly prevalent and constitute a burden
for patients, families, and society worldwide. As part of the Curing Coma Campaign, the …

Heart rate has natural fluctuations that are typically ascribed to autonomic function. Recent
evidence suggests that conscious processing can affect the timing of the heartbeat. We …

Neuroprognostication, or the prediction of recovery from disorders of consciousness caused
by severe brain injury, is as critical as it is complex. With profound implications for mortality …
