Study of Brain Function Evaluation System for Acute and Prolonged Disorders of Consciousness

A framework for the acquisition of neural features, feature selection and mechanism analysis of consciousness deficits in patients with acute and prolonged disorders of consciousness(DOC). Based on the multimodal data of three types of patients with DOC, the investigators established a comprehensive scientific collection of brain function features of acute and prolonged consciousness disorders; Revealed the key neural nodes and circuits of consciousness deficits, and elucidated the neural mechanisms of consciousness deficits in patients with prolonged consciousness disorders from EEG time-frequency-spatial features;

Admission criteria for patients with prolonged disorders of consciousness

Inclusion criteria

• Age 14-60 years;

• The patient's family members signed the informed consent form;

Exclusion criteria

• The history of mental illness and a history of hearing impairment;
• Intracranial arterial clamp, pacemaker and other metal implants;
• During the experiment, sedatives and other drugs that affect the excitability of the cortex;
• The presence of uncontrolled seizures or involuntary movements;
