  • Method for assessing anesthetization
    Patent number: 8457731
    Abstract: An evaluation of consciousness during the application of anesthetic evaluates causal propagation of neural activity in response to a localized stimulus, for example, by transcranial magnetic stimulation. A longer duration of invoked activity and a greater spatial dispersion of the invoked activity or greater complexity are matched to greater wakefulness comporting with a theory of consciousness as cortical integration of information moderated by intraneural communication.
