Study of Brain Function Evaluation and Intervention System for Acute and Prolonged Disorders of Consciousness

Science and Technology Innovation 2030

The research focuses on establishing a system for validating the effectiveness of key technologies for targeted combined non-invasive interventions in awakening consciousness.

Analyzed the EEG activity and brain network changes before and after stimulation by TMS stimulation of key brain regions, and correlated them with brain function. To verify the "time-frequency-space" neural mechanism of consciousness.

Admission criteria for patients with prolonged disorders of consciousness (Total 200) Inclusion Criteria:(1)Age 14-80 years;(2)In accordance with the diagnostic criteria of unresponsive arousal syndrome or minimally conscious state by international research;(3)Brain Trauma, stroke and hypoxic-ischemic encephalopathy lead to disturbance of consciousness;(4) right-handed；(5)The patient's family members signed the informed consent form; Exclusion Criteria:(1)The history of mental illness and a history of hearing impairment;(2)Intracranial arterial clamp, pacemaker and other metal implants; (3)During the experiment, sedatives and other drugs that affect the excitability of the cortex;(4)The presence of uncontrolled seizures or involuntary movements;
