Summary

This study looks at whether people with disorders of consciousness (like coma or minimally conscious state) can form and recall memories. Researchers will use brain wave (EEG) and skin sensors to detect memory activity that can't be seen through behavior alone. The goal is to better understand these patients' inner mental life and improve their diagnosis and care.
