From: Spontaneous eye blinking as a diagnostic marker in prolonged disorders of consciousness
Patients’ (n = 11) EBR as a function of the task (passive, active) and the phase (Rest 1, Oddball, Rest 2) in the two diagnostic groups (VS/UWS, MCS). Error bars display standard errors corrected for within-subject design. EBR was significantly different between diagnostic groups (adjusted p = .04), but no significant differences were observed within groups across tasks and phases (all adjusted p > .05). Abbreviations: EBR = Eye Blink Rate; VS/UWS = Vegetative State/Unresponsive Wakefulness Syndrome; MCS = Minimally Conscious State.
