2026-08-07

Abstract excerpt

<p>The discovery of covert consciousness (CC) and cognitive motor dissociation (CMD) has revealed a conceptual inconsistency at the heart of disorders of consciousness (DoC) nosology. Advanced neuroimaging and electrophysiological studies have demonstrated that behavioral unresponsiveness does not necessarily imply the absence of consciousness or cognitive capacity, yet contemporary diagnostic categories continue...
