Resumen

Objective: To investigate the differences in the brain responses of healthy controls (HC) and patients with disorders of consciousness (DOC) to familiar and non-familiar audiovisual stimuli and their consistency with the clinical progress. Methods: EEG responses of 19 HC and 19 patients with DOC were recorded while watching emotionally-valenced familiar and non-familiar videos. Differential entropy of the EEG recordings was used to train machine learning models aimed to distinguish brain responses to stimuli type. The consistency of brain responses with the clinical progress of the patients was also evaluated. Results: Models trained using data from HC outperformed those for patients. However, the performance of the models for patients was not influenced by their clinical condition. The models were successfully trained for over 75% of participants, regardless of their clinical condition. More than 75% of patients whose CRS-R scores increased post-study displayed distinguishable brain responses to both stimuli. Conclusions: Responses to emotionally-valenced stimuli enabled modelling classifiers that were sensitive to the familiarity of the stimuli, regardless of the clinical condition of the participants and were consistent with their clinical progress in most cases. Significance: EEG responses are sensitive to familiarity of emotionally-valenced stimuli in HC and patients with DOC.
