The present invention relates to a method for predicting awakening in a comatose patient based on the progression of auditory discrimination during early stages of coma. EEG measures are acquired from the patient during two distinct periods when said patient is exposed to auditory stimuli comprising repeated standard and deviant sounds. The first period occurs when the comatose patient is in a hypothermia state and the second period occurs when the comatose patient is in a normal temperature state and preferably within 2-3 days from the onset of the coma. The present invention further relates to a computer-implemented method thereof.
