abstract = {Complete locked-in syndrome (CLIS) resulting from
late-stage amyotrophic lateral sclerosis (ALS) is
characterised by loss of motor function and eye movements.
The absence of behavioural indicators of consciousness makes
the search for neuronal correlates as possible biomarkers
clinically and ethically urgent. EEG-based measures of brain
dynamics such as power-law exponent (PLE) and Lempel-Ziv
complexity (LZC) have been shown to have explanatory power
for consciousness and may provide such neuronal indices for
patients with CLIS. Here, we validated PLE and LZC
(calculated in a dynamic way) as benchmarks of a wide range
of arousal states across different reference states of
consciousness (e.g., awake, sleep stages, ketamine,
sevoflurane). We show a tendency toward high PLE and low
LZC, with high intra-subject fluctuations and inter-subject
variability in a cohort of CLIS patients with values graded
along different arousal states as in our reference data
sets. In conclusion, changes in brain dynamics indicate
altered arousal in CLIS. Specifically, PLE and LZC are
potentially relevant biomarkers to identify or diagnose the
arousal level in CLIS and to determine the optimal time
point for treatment, including communication attempts.},
