« It was not difficult to convince ourselves that when the patient suddenly began to use his eyes after a prolonged period of rest in a dark room, there was a prompt and noticeable increase in the intensity of his bruit… Activity of his other sense organs, moreover, had no effect upon his bruit. »

Conclusion
• Need for objective markers of consciousness in comatose states• PET
• quantify resting metabolism• neuro-receptor studies• markers of neuronal death & neuronal plasticity
• fMRI• ‘activation’ studies
• Vegetative state : disconnection syndrome with dysfunction of fronto-parietal network of “higher order” cortices
• Minimally conscious state : intact pain & emotional perception
• Much more research is needed
