A landmark study from neurologists at Columbia University has described a new method to detect signs of consciousness in unresponsive brain-injured patients using a simple EEG scan. The research also ...

For nearly two decades, scientists have explored the prevalence of “cognitive motor dissociation,” a condition where patients are unresponsive to bedside cognitive tests but show evidence of ...

NEW YORK, NY (Aug. 14, 2023)--Columbia researchers have identified brain injuries that may underlie hidden consciousness, a puzzling phenomenon in which brain-injured patients are unable to respond to ...

A study published this week could help doctors to identify patients with brain injuries, in seemingly unresponsive states, who are more likely to recover. In the study, published in the journal Brain ...

Several studies in the past decade have revealed that up to a quarter of unresponsive patients with recent brain injuries may possess a degree of consciousness that ...

Several studies in the past decade have revealed that up to a quarter of unresponsive patients with recent brain injuries may possess a degree of consciousness that's normally hidden from their ...

Scientists have discovered a hidden sign of consciousness in comatose patients that shows they can hear and understand the world around them. The study found bursts of organized, fast frequencies ...

A new study reveals that an artificial intelligence tool can detect tiny, imperceptible facial movements in patients with severe brain injuries, suggesting some may be conscious days or even weeks ...

NEW YORK, NY (June 27, 2019)--Close analysis of EEG data reveals that nearly 1 in 7 brain-injured ICU patients shows evidence of hidden consciousness just days after injury. Patients with such signs ...

Researchers have identified brain circuits that, when injured, make conscious patients with acute brain injury appear unresponsive, a phenomenon known as hidden consciousness. Columbia researchers ...
