First seen Apr 16, 2026 · Last updated May 21, 2026 · Updated 6 times
Summary
This study investigates whether patients with disorders of consciousness (like coma or minimally conscious state) can form and recall memories. Researchers will use EEG and skin sensors to detect brain and body responses to memory tasks, without requiring any communication from the patient. The goal is to better understand these patients' inner mental life and improve diagnosis and care. The study involves 175 participants, including both patients and conscious controls in intensive care.
