摘要:
A method for analysis of the extent of conscious awareness and likelihood of recovery of a patient includes the steps of applying to the patient a sensory stimulus sequence which is typically auditory carrying out an EEG to generate waveform signals to record changes in the electromagnetic fields generated by the patients neural activity using software provided in a processor to process the waveform signals in order to locate waveform peaks, identify the event-related potential (ERP) components obtained in the waveform and to obtain quantitative measures of those components and using the software to generate and communicate scores indicative of the extent of conscious awareness and likelihood of recovery of the patient.
