Disorders of consciousness are clinical conditions characterized by reduced levels of consciousness, as evidenced by the reduced dynamic brain function observed in patients [1]. Research into consciousness often uses these disorders as a comparative state to study normal waking consciousness [2], and advancements in understanding consciousness are expected to directly improve the diagnosis and treatment of these disorders {fact:3, fact:4}.

claimPatients with disorders of consciousness (DoC) exhibit reduced dynamic brain function, which is hypothesized to result in decreased consciousness.
claimAlnagger et al. validated their method of simulated perturbations by showing that the response to perturbation was lower in states of lower consciousness, such as in patients with disorders of consciousness and healthy participants under anaesthesia, compared to normal waking consciousness.
