Detection of residual awareness functions in patients with disorder of consciousness

he prediction of outcomes counts great clinical and social

value for patients with disorder of consciousness (DOC).

As their capacity of outputting are obstructed, it becomes a

challenge in both clinical and fundamental fields to detect the

signals which represents the residual of brain function. It is

difficult to have a further classify of DOC with classical clinical

scoring scales. The evaluating method with objective, stable,

efficient and convenient properties is not acquired yet. And, the

basic of consciousness-related neural circuit remains unknown.

This research is based on event-related potential (ERP) of

electroencephalogram (EEG) technique. Auditory stimulating

protocols are applied to evoke classical EEG indicators, such as

mismatch negativity (MMN) and P300, which will be recorded

continuously for the first time. Differentiations in signature

waveformandpower spectrumareanalyzed, andproposeaEEG

based prognosis tool. Furthermore, encephaloelectrol activities

will be localized with the assistance of functional magnetic

resonance images (fMRI), in which the start points, key nucleus,

and end points related to consciousness will be explored.
