First seen Jan 20, 2026 · Last updated Jun 05, 2026 · Updated 18 times
Summary
This study looks at tiny, involuntary facial expressions (micro-expressions) in 200 people with long-term consciousness disorders after severe brain injury. Researchers use emotional stimuli to trigger these expressions and combine them with EEG and MRI scans. The goal is to improve diagnosis of consciousness levels and explore remaining brain function, not to provide a treatment.
