Covert consciousness, where unresponsive patients willfully modulate brain activity to command, is gaining attention. But these assessments are fundamentally limited. What if we could just... read their minds instead? ๐งต about our paper in @GreenJournal https://t.co/qJ2Q2alFPV

What's the impact of @RECOVER_program, a specialized neuroprognostication service, on provider attitudes? This survey study in @Resus_Plus suggests providers are satisfied, think it's better than the usual, and makes neurology more useful. More at #AANAM https://t.co/aUCWqSiqLl
Was #TheDarkKnight's Two-Face the product of brain injury? Harvey Dent was hospitalized after surviving the explosion and disfiguring burns that transformed him into the psychopathic villain, Two-Face. The background offers insight into the villain's psychological origins. (1/6)
Privileged to collaborate with this international group of experts on disorders of consciousness at a recent conference. A resulting paper, led by @MJYoung_MD in @TheLancetNeuro, outlines an ethical approach to covert consciousness assessment.

Neural decoding as a covert consciousness assessment is not without limitations. One cannot investigate another's consciousness without eventually falling into a philosophical rabbit hole. Read a thoughtful editorial about this piece here: https://t.co/a76ZFhb0p5

@namorrismd@NeurocritCareJ@MDNeurocritcare@neurocritical Thanks Nick! I found myself counseling families against this option, mainly because I had no idea how it would work. Learned a lot from this! For anyone interested in the highlights:
How should acute care neurologists counsel families about withdrawing life-sustaining treatment following a patient's hospitalization? Is it feasible? Ethical? Legal? @PennNeurology resident Aaron Williams explores in new @NeurocritCareJ paper. ๐งต 1/6
