When working with patients in a deep coma, doctors interpret a flat EEG reading as a sign that the person is brain-dead and with little chance of waking up. But a new Canadian study raises the ...

First author Marleen Tjepkema and senior author Michel van Putten. When patients suffer cardiac arrest, more than half of those who remain comatose never regain consciousness. Early and accurate ...

New brain mapping: Yale researchers used full-head EEG to map anesthesia-induced brain states, finding similarities to both sleep and coma. Challenging old views: The study disputes the idea that ...

Electroencephalogram tests, or EEGs, are commonly used to diagnose epilepsy and sleep disorders. But researchers may have found a new application for the widely used technology: detecting brain ...

Researchers have found brain activity beyond a flat line EEG, which they have called Nu-complexes (from the Greek letter n). According to existing scientific data, researchers and doctors had ...

EEG-measurements enable better prediction of the outcome of a coma that was caused by a lack of oxygen to the brain. This became clear from research of the University of Twente (MIRA) in cooperation ...
