Journal ArticleDOI
Detecting Awareness in the Vegetative State
Adrian M. Owen,Martin R. Coleman,Mélanie Boly,Matthew H. Davis,Steven Laureys,John D. Pickard +5 more
TL;DR: Functional magnetic resonance imaging was used to demonstrate preserved conscious awareness in a patient fulfilling the criteria for a diagnosis of vegetative state and the patient activated predicted cortical areas in a manner indistinguishable from that of healthy volunteers.
Journal ArticleDOI
Willful Modulation of Brain Activity in Disorders of Consciousness
Martin M. Monti,Audrey Vanhaudenhuyse,Martin R. Coleman,Mélanie Boly,John D. Pickard,Luaba Tshibanda,Adrian M. Owen,Steven Laureys +7 more
TL;DR: It is shown that a small proportion of patients in a vegetative or minimally conscious state have brain activation reflecting some awareness and cognition, and this technique may be useful in establishing basic communication with patients who appear to be unresponsive.
Journal ArticleDOI
Diagnostic accuracy of the vegetative and minimally conscious state: Clinical consensus versus standardized neurobehavioral assessment
Caroline Schnakers,Audrey Vanhaudenhuyse,Joseph T. Giacino,Manfredi Ventura,Mélanie Boly,Steve Majerus,Gustave Moonen,Steven Laureys +7 more
TL;DR: Standardized neurobehavioral assessment is a more sensitive means of establishing differential diagnosis in patients with disorders of consciousness when compared to diagnoses determined by clinical consensus.
Journal ArticleDOI
Integrated information theory: from consciousness to its physical substrate
TL;DR: How integrated information theory accounts for several aspects of the relationship between consciousness and the brain is discussed and can be used to develop new tools for assessing consciousness in non-communicative patients.
Journal ArticleDOI
Neural correlates of consciousness: progress and problems
TL;DR: Recent findings showing that the anatomical neural correlates of consciousness are primarily localized to a posterior cortical hot zone that includes sensory areas, rather than to a fronto-parietal network involved in task monitoring and reporting are described.
