fNIRS: a novel tool for detecting consciousness after acute severe brain injury
https://t.co/6vc3Y5aWDm
We examine the reliability of fNIRS in 100+ datasets across 6 tasks then use fNIRS to detect covert awareness in the ICU
Dr. Loretta Norton, Assistant Professor of Psychology, is leading a research team, including two @KingsAtWestern alumni, to better predict recovery after severe brain injuries. Read more about her research in the latest issue of the King’s Herald.

Using fMRI imaging and machine learning, @SchulichMedDent researchers discovered they could predict which patients would recover from a serious brain injury with an accuracy of 80%. #WesternU https://t.co/DGZuedixJw
After suffering cardiac arrest in 2010, Leonard Rodrigues was thought to be in a persistent vegetative state.
At our Research Impact Day, Winifred Rodrigues told her moving story on caring for Leonard and working with #WesternU's @Comadork to better understand his brain injury.
After many years working at @LHSCCanada@westernuEpilep , Linda is retiring... An amazing EEG technologist... she will be sorely missed... good luck Linda in this new phase of your life!

Distinguished poster @ #NCS2022 I agree, a major of the future of neurocritical care is noninvasive, multimodal neuromonitoring! Particularly quantitative EEG 🌈🔥.
