Critical dynamics in spontaneous EEG predict perturbational complexity in disorders of consciousness with measurable evoked responses

2026-06-09

Abstract excerpt

Identifying which severely brain-injured patients retain the capacity for consciousness remains a major challenge in neurocritical care. The perturbational complexity index (PCI) provides a reliable assessment of consciousness capacity, but its reliance on transcranial magnetic stimulation and EEG (TMS-EEG) limits bedside scalability. PCI and brain criticality capture complementary dimensions of brain dynamics: PC...
