Bedside Detection of Awareness in the Vegetative State: A Cohort Study
Lancet 378:2088-2094, Cruse, D.,et al, 2011
See this aricle in Pubmed

Article Abstract
Despite rigorous clinical assessment, many patients in the vegetative states are misdiagnosed. The EEG method that we developed is cheap, portable, widely available, and objective. It could allow the widespread use of this bedside technique for the rediagnosis of patients who behaviourally seem to be entirely vegetative, but who might have residual cognitive function and conscious awareness.
