Anaesthesia, crucial to surgical practice, is undergoing renewed scrutiny due to the
integration of artificial intelligence in its medical use. The precise control over the temporary …

Objective. Automatic human alertness monitoring has recently become an important
research topic with important applications in many areas such as the detection of drivers' …

Consciousness is thought to be regulated by bidirectional information transfer between the
cortex and thalamus, but the nature of this bidirectional communication-and its possible …

The construction of time series networks in complex systems facilitates the investigation of
information interaction mechanisms among subsystems. As widely used causal relationship …

Objective: Monitoring the depth of anesthesia (DoA) plays an important role for
administering the drug injection during a surgery, ie, preventing undesired awareness and …

Objective General anesthesia might disrupt neuronal network communications measured by
functional connectivity (FC; undirected connectivity) and directional information flow …

Consciousness is thought to be regulated by bidirectional information transfer between the
cortex and thalamus, but the nature of this bidirectional communication-and its possible …

Cerebral blood flow (CBF) reflects the rate of delivery of arterial blood to the brain. Since no
nutrients, oxygen or water can be stored in the cranial cavity due to space and pressure …

Most neurophysiological monitoring techniques are affected by drugs given in the course of
anesthesia and by changes in the patient's physiology, making the anesthesiologist a key …

Objective The monitoring of anesthetic depth based on electroencephalogram derivation is
not currently adjusted for age. Here we analyze the influence of age factors on …
