Persistent Vegetative State
Emotion Assessment to Study Consciousness in Awakening Patients
After a coma, one important challenge is the detection of awareness with patients with disorders of consciousness. For some patients, the only behavioral manifestation indicative of awareness is an appropriate emotional response.
