About this trial
The main aim of this study is to develop a new technique for the passive diagnosis of cognitive-motor dissociation, with the detection of motor intention in a comatose patient by analysing the EEG signal and in particular the ERD/ERS amplitudes in the motor cortex after stimulation of the median nerve.
Eligibility criteria
Qualifiers
Patients must be aged 18 years or over;
Patients must be admitted to the intensive care unit with a cerebrovascular pathology;
Patients must be in a comatose state with a Glasgow score strictly less than 8, 24 hours after stopping sedation.
Representative of the patient informed of the research and not objecting to it, information and collection of the participant's non-objection if recovery of the ability to understand the content of the information note,
Disqualifiers
