Covert consciousness, where unresponsive patients willfully modulate brain activity to command, is gaining attention. But these assessments are fundamentally limited. What if we could just... read their minds instead? 🧵 about our paper in @GreenJournal neurology.org/doi/10.1212/WN…

Neural decoding as a covert consciousness assessment is not without limitations. One cannot investigate another's consciousness without eventually falling into a philosophical rabbit hole. Read a thoughtful editorial about this piece here: neurology.org/doi/10.1212/WN…
