Sensitive and specific fNIRS-based approach for awareness detection in disorders of consciousness: proof of principle in healthy adults
This individualized diagnostic approach may have the potential to significantly enhance diagnostic accuracy for DoCs. It provides a noninvasive, efficient, and objective assessment, potentially reducing the rate of misdiagnosis rates. The practicality and minimal technical requirements of fNIRS further support future clinical implementation.
