Brain Patterns Indicative of Consciousness, in Unconscious Individuals

Posted by in category: neuroscience

Summary: Researchers say human consciousness is supported by dynamic, complex patterns of brain signal coordination.

Detecting these patterns in real-time could allow for externally induced manipulations that noninvasively restore consciousness.
