Advances over the past two decades in functional neuroimaging have provided new
diagnostic and prognostic tools for patients with severe brain injury. Some of the most …

Functional near-infrared spectroscopy (fNIRS) is a noninvasive brain function detection
technique based on the principle of neuro-vascular coupling. Based on a bibliometric …

Resting-state functional connectivity (rsFC) has gained popularity mainly due to its simplicity
and potential for providing insights into various brain disorders. In this vein, functional near …

Significance Brain fingerprinting refers to identifying participants based on their functional
patterns. Despite its success with functional magnetic resonance imaging (fMRI), brain …

Objective This pilot study assesses the feasibility to detect covert consciousness in clinically
unresponsive patients by means of functional near infrared spectroscopy (fNIRS) in a real …

Covert consciousness is a state of residual awareness following severe brain injury or
neurological disorder that evades routine bedside behavioral detection. Patients with covert …

Recent advancements in functional neuroimaging have demonstrated that some
unresponsive patients in the intensive care unit retain a level of consciousness that is …

Objective There is a lack of reliable tools used to predict functional recovery in unresponsive
patients following a severe brain injury. The objective of the study is to evaluate the …

Introduction Approximately one in six people will experience an episode of major depressive
disorder (MDD) in their lifetime. Effective treatment is hindered by subjective clinical decision …

Background. In recent decades, the phenomenon of “covert cognition” has been described
in a small proportion of patients with chronic disorders of consciousness. Specialized …
