The analysis of spontaneous EEG activity and evoked potentials is a cornerstone of the
instrumental evaluation of patients with disorders of consciousness (DoC). The past few …

Over the last years, a surge of empirical studies converged on complexity-related measures
as reliable markers of consciousness across many different conditions, such as sleep …

Deep non-rapid eye movement sleep (NREM) and general anesthesia with propofol are
prominent states of reduced arousal linked to the occurrence of synchronized oscillations in …

Despite the absence of responsiveness during anesthesia, conscious experience may
persist. However, reliable, easily acquirable and interpretable neurophysiological markers of …

Entropy is a powerful tool for quantification of the brain function and its information
processing capacity. This is evident in its broad domain of applications that range from …

The past 40 years have witnessed extensive research on fractal structure and scale-free
dynamics in the brain. Although considerable progress has been made, a comprehensive …

The brain exhibits a complex temporal structure which translates into a hierarchy of distinct
neural timescales. An open question is how these intrinsic timescales are related to sensory …

Periodic features of neural time-series data, such as local field potentials (LFPs), are often
quantified using power spectra. While the aperiodic exponent of spectra is typically …

During development, the brain undergoes radical structural and functional changes
following a posterior-to-anterior gradient, associated with profound changes of cortical …

Complete locked-in syndrome (CLIS) resulting from late-stage amyotrophic lateral sclerosis
(ALS) is characterised by loss of motor function and eye movements. The absence of …
