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

[Prof. Adrian M. Owen OBE, FRS @Comadork]

Want to know how you can use functional near-infrared spectroscopy to detect consciousness? Let us show you (no paywall). @karnig_kazazian @MatthewKolisny1 @DebickiDerek @lorettaenorton @SergioNovi https://t.co/3eBXrOmaGI

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.

[Western University @WesternU]

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

[Western BrainsCAN @Brains_CAN]

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.

In light of Resident Appreciation Week, we extend our gratitude to our current, past, & future residents! They work tirelessly to ensure our patients receive the best standard of care and we thank them for their commitment & dedication to the CNS Dept.

[Prof. Adrian M. Owen OBE, FRS @Comadork]

Big paper day! Our first data showing that fMRI can be used diagnostically and prognostically in acutely unresponsive patients in the ICU. @lorettaenorton @karnig_kazazian @jpeelle @DebickiDerek @daviniaferes and others (not on twitter).

Prof. Bleck talking about Loretta Norton, Teneille Gofton, Derek Debicki & @Comadork's work on #FunctionalNeuroimaging in #ICU during his #keynote address at #NCS2022 @JWSanAntonio Kudos to #NeurocriticalCare team @LHSCCanada @BMI_WesternU @WesternU

[Derek Debicki @DebickiDerek]

Thanks @GiuliaBene16. We are really excited about this work. Please stop by #NCS2022 Professor Rounds Thursday morning to chat more.

[Giulia Benedetti @GiuliaBene16]

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