摘要:
The article cites a report within the issue regarding the development of a technique for assessing consciousness in patients who have suffered massive brain injuries due to accidents, hemorrhages, or other causes. According to the author, better methods would enable physicians to calibrate pain medication and predict a patient's prognosis. An overview of a technique using electroencephalograpic (EEG) recordings of brain activity plugged into a mathematical model is discussed.
