Breakdown of long-range temporal dependence in disorders of consciousness

Record summary

Researchers associated with the Coma Science Group examined temporal organization in EEG signals from patients with disorders of consciousness and compared it with more responsive states. The lead is relevant to altered-state science because it asks whether conscious responsiveness is associated with distinctive long-range dynamics rather than simple amplitude changes. Interpretation is complicated by diagnosis, medication, lesions and recording conditions. Verify the named paper, patient categories, EEG metrics and whether the findings concern correlation with behavior or a proposed mechanism.
