Conditions

Cognitive Impairment, Consciousness Disorder

Brief summary

Identify potential markers of recovery through event-related potentials (ERPs) in the evolution of altered consciousness with potential ability to discriminate between different conditions of altered state of consciousness. Identify potential markers with prognostic value, in order to identify personalized and specific intensive rehabilitation paths based on the outcome indexes obtained.

Interventions

DIAGNOSTIC_TESTNeurowave Group

Neurosensory stimulation will consist in the administration of pairs of stimuli consisting of emotionally significant images and sounds in the personal life history (two rare stimuli) alternating with neutral images and sounds devoid of emotional significance (two distracting stimuli
