Functional MRI is a primary neuroimaging tool used to investigate the neural correlates of consciousness, as evidenced by its role in identifying consciousness in unresponsive patients [1], analyzing global signal data [2], and testing for consciousness in clinical and nonhuman subjects [3]. Furthermore, research utilizes fMRI alongside other methods to distinguish the functional roles of attention and consciousness [4].

claimMethods to test for consciousness in nonhuman animals and patients with brain damage typically rely on behavior or brain recordings, such as functional magnetic resonance imaging (fMRI) or electroencephalogram (EEG), according to Tim Bayne et al. (2024).
