Uncovering Consciousness - Brian Edlow, MD & Yelena Bodien, PhD

Watch Full Conversation

In this episode, we discuss consciousness in a clinical setting. Covert consciousness is a state where individuals appear unconscious on the bedside examination yet demonstrate signs of awareness through advanced tests of brain function. Together, Dr. Brian Edlow and Dr. Yelena Bodien explain how these tests reveal covert consciousness and how modern neurotechnologies are redefining the clinical evaluation of consciousness in patients with severe brain injuries.
