Disclosed is a method for the generation of a consciousness indicator for a non-communicating subject, including the steps of generating an auditory stimulation, receiving an electrocardiographic signal of the subject obtained from a recording during the generation of the auditory stimulation, extracting at least one feature from the electrocardiographic signal and deducing a consciousness indicator from an analysis of the electrocardiographic feature.

System and methods for consciousness evaluation in non-communicating subjects

Provided are methods to measure and or monitor consciousness in a subject, including analyzing brain activity with weighted symbolic mutual information (wSMI) and/or Kolgomorov symbolic complexity (KSC). In addition, methods and apparatus to administer a stimulus and/or a medicament to a subject according to their consciousness level which has been determined using the method described herein are also provided.
