Resting-state EEG for continuous prognostic monitoring and prediction of coma recovery after acute brain injury. Clinical Neurophysiology 2026;188:2111899. https://t.co/M00MMvQU6U
Commentary: Clinical neurophysiological techniques such as EEG and evoked potentials play an important role in the prognosis of coma following acute brain injury. Accurate prognostic information is important to guide treatment decisions. In this volume of Clinical Neurophysiology, Zabihi et al. analyzed continuous EEG recordings in 201 patients with acute brain injury from traumatic brain injury, subarachnoid hemorrhage or intracerebral hemorrhage. The authors used predictive models that update every 5 minutes to predict future level of consciousness at 24, 48 and 72 hours. The results showed that models that incorporate EEG with behavioral assessment outperform behavioral assessment alone. An advantage of continuous EEG compared to other methods such as functional MRI, stimulation-based EEG and TMS-EEG to assess consciousness is that it does not require specific stimulation procedures and is more widely available. This can be a useful technique to help with clinical decision-making in patients with disorders of consciousness from acute brain injury.

Brain stimulation influences networks, not just one region. ⚡
Using #fNIRS with #TMS, Iester et al. showed that interhemispheric inhibition engages widespread frontoparietal regions beyond M1, highlighting the value of multimodal neuroimaging.

We just released a major update to TDBRAIN V3.1: one of the largest and most well phenotyped, openly available clinical EEG datasets (>1500 EEGs).
What's new in V3.1:
- Data in lossless 24 bit BDF format reducing filesize with 80%.
- A beta-release of Oddball task EEG (6-min) in BDF+ format including stimulus presentation and responses. We're working on releasing Oddball data for N>1000.
- An online EDF-BDF viewer to visualise or export data
- More labelled data: We expanded MDD patients including TMS treatment-response labels to N>170 and further expanded ADHD, Tinnitus and Controls.
