Substantial progress has been made over the past two decades in detecting, predicting and
promoting recovery of consciousness in patients with disorders of consciousness (DoC) …

We review the central tenets and neuroanatomical basis of the global neuronal workspace
(GNW) hypothesis, which attempts to account for the main scientific observations regarding …

Background Patients with brain injury who are unresponsive to commands may perform
cognitive tasks that are detected on functional magnetic resonance imaging (fMRI) and …

Background and purpose Patients with acquired brain injury and acute or prolonged
disorders of consciousness (DoC) are challenging. Evidence to support diagnostic decisions …

Loss of consciousness is associated with the disruption of long-range thalamocortical and
corticocortical brain communication. We tested the hypothesis that deep brain stimulation …

What mechanisms underlie flexible inter-areal communication in the cortex? We consider
four mechanisms for temporal coordination and their contributions to communication:(1) …

Objective To update the 1995 American Academy of Neurology (AAN) practice parameter on
persistent vegetative state and the 2002 case definition on minimally conscious state (MCS) …

There have been a number of advances in the search for the neural correlates of
consciousness—the minimum neural mechanisms sufficient for any one specific conscious …

Various theories for the neural basis of consciousness have been proposed, suggesting a
diversity of neural signs and mechanisms. We ask to what extent this diversity is real, or …

Decoding, ie prediction from brain images or signals, calls for empirical evaluation of its
predictive power. Such evaluation is achieved via cross-validation, a method also used to …
