If attending #ASSC25, come to poster 62 this afternoon to see how #fNIRS can be used to detect residual and covert awareness in patients with acute severe brain injury ASSC. Work done w/ Prof. Adrian M. Owen OBE, FRS & Derek Debicki

Congrats to all @lawsonresearch IRF grant recipients! I’m excited to start this project with Prof. Adrian M. Owen OBE, FRS Derek Debicki Androu Abdalmalak #fnirs #neurofeedback

Prof. Bleck talking about Loretta Norton, Teneille Gofton, Derek Debicki & Prof. Adrian M. Owen OBE, FRS's work on #FunctionalNeuroimaging in #ICU during his #keynote address at #NCS2022 JWMarriottSanAntonio Kudos to #NeurocriticalCare team London Health Sciences Centre Western Centre for Brain and Mind Western University

Thanks Giulia Benedetti. We are really excited about this work. Please stop by #NCS2022 Professor Rounds Thursday morning to chat more.

Big paper day! Our first data showing that fMRI can be used diagnostically and prognostically in acutely unresponsive patients in the ICU. Loretta Norton Karnig Kazazian @jpeelle Derek Debicki Davinia Fernández-Espejo and others (not on twitter). onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/10.1002/an…

In light of Resident Appreciation Week, we extend our gratitude to our current, past, & future residents! They work tirelessly to ensure our patients receive the best standard of care and we thank them for their commitment & dedication to the CNS Dept.

After many years working at London Health Sciences Centre WesternU Epilepsy , Linda is retiring... An amazing EEG technologist... she will be sorely missed... good luck Linda in this new phase of your life!

After suffering cardiac arrest in 2010, Leonard Rodrigues was thought to be in a persistent vegetative state. At our Research Impact Day, Winifred Rodrigues told her moving story on caring for Leonard and working with #WesternU's Prof. Adrian M. Owen OBE, FRS to better understand his brain injury.

Using fMRI imaging and machine learning, Schulich WesternU  researchers discovered they could predict which patients would recover from a serious brain injury with an accuracy of 80%. #WesternU news.westernu.ca/2023/09/ai-pre…

Today is World Cerebral Palsy Day! Cerebral palsy (CP) describes a disorder that arises as a result of injury to the developing brain. Learn about CP + more in the Brain Health in Ontario report: braininstitute.ca/bhio-cerebral-… #BrainHealth #WorldCPDay

Dr. Loretta Norton, Assistant Professor of Psychology, is leading a research team, including two King's at Western alumni, to better predict recovery after severe brain injuries. Read more about her research in the latest issue of the King’s Herald. kings.uwo.ca/alumni/stay-in…

Want to know how you can use functional near-infrared spectroscopy to detect consciousness? Let us show you (no paywall). Karnig Kazazian Matthew Kolisnyk Derek Debicki Loretta Norton Sergio Novi pnas.org/doi/10.1073/pn…

Check out our latest work now out in @PNASnews 🚨⤵️ fNIRS: a novel tool for detecting consciousness after acute severe brain injury pnas.org/doi/10.1073/pn… We examine the reliability of fNIRS in 100+ datasets across 6 tasks then use fNIRS to detect covert awareness in the ICU

Key point: "Antibodies to LGI1, NMDAR, and GAD65 are the most common antibodies found in patients with autoimmune encephalitis and autoimmune-associated seizure disorders." Epileptic Disorders doi.org/10.1002/epd2.2…
