Journal ArticleDOI
DMN Operational Synchrony Relates to Self-Consciousness: Evidence from Patients in Vegetative and Minimally Conscious States.
Andrew A. Fingelkurts,Alexander A. Fingelkurts,Sergio Bagnato,Cristina Boccagni,Giuseppe Galardi +4 more
TL;DR: Results suggest that the EEG operational synchrony within DMN may provide an objective and accurate measure for the assessment of signs of self-(un)consciousness in these challenging patient populations, and may complement the current diagnostic procedures for patients with severe brain injuries and, hence, the planning of a rational rehabilitation intervention.
Journal ArticleDOI
Toward operational architectonics of consciousness: basic evidence from patients with severe cerebral injuries.
Andrew A. Fingelkurts,Alexander A. Fingelkurts,Sergio Bagnato,Cristina Boccagni,Giuseppe Galardi +4 more
TL;DR: The presented results suggest that EEG operational architectonics analysis may provide an objective and accurate means of assessing signs of (un)consciousness in patients with severe brain injuries and complement the existing “gold standard” of behavioral assessment of this population of challenging patients.
Journal ArticleDOI
Dissociation of vegetative and minimally conscious patients based on brain operational architectonics: factor of etiology.
Andrew A. Fingelkurts,Alexander A. Fingelkurts,Sergio Bagnato,Cristina Boccagni,Giuseppe Galardi +4 more
TL;DR: It is concluded that the observed EEG OA structure impairment in patients in VS and partial preservation in patients with different brain damage etiologies is a marker of consciousness/unconsciousness rather than physiological damage.
Journal ArticleDOI
Prognostic Value of Resting-State Electroencephalography Structure in Disentangling Vegetative and Minimally Conscious States A Preliminary Study
Andrew A. Fingelkurts,Alexander A. Fingelkurts,Sergio Bagnato,Cristina Boccagni,Giuseppe Galardi +4 more
TL;DR: In this paper, no prognostic markers predict the chance of recovery, which has serious consequences, e.g., patients in a vegetative state pose problems in diagnosis, prognosis, and treatment.
Journal ArticleDOI
Silencing the Brain May be Better than Stimulating it. The GABA Effect
TL;DR: It is hypothesized that CNS depressants may promote consciousness recovery by reversing a condition of GABA impairment in the injured brain, restoring the normal ratio between synaptic excitation and inhibition, which is the prerequisite for any transition from a resting state to goal-oriented activities.

Intentionality in non-equilibrium systems? The functional aspects of self-organized pattern formation
Wolfgang Tschacher,Hermann Haken +1 more
TL;DR: In this paper, the second law of thermodynamics is used to explain the adaptive, intentional and purposive behavior of non-linear complex systems, in particular of cognitive systems.
