The value of resting electroencephalogram (EEG) in revealing neural constitutes of
consciousness (NCC) was examined. We quantified the dynamic repertoire, duration and
oscillatory type of EEG microstates in eyes-closed rest in relation to the degree of expression
of clinical self-consciousness. For NCC a model was suggested that contrasted normal,
severely disturbed state of consciousness and state without consciousness. Patients with
disorders of consciousness were used. Results suggested that the repertoire, duration and …

Objective To investigate the potentially prognostic value of a resting state
electroencephalogram (EEG) with regards to the clinical outcome from vegetative and
minimally conscious states (VS and MCS) in terms of survival six months after a brain injury.
Methods We quantified a dynamic repertoire of EEG oscillations in resting condition with
eyes closed in patients in VS and MCS. The exact composition of EEG oscillations was
assessed by analysing the probability-classification of short-term EEG spectral patterns …
