Topic: Minimally Conscious State (MCS)

This study delves into an examination of heart rhythm patterns among patients afflicted with disorders of consciousness. The research primarily focuses on the analysis of polysomnographic recordings in the time domain while also exploring methodologies for evaluating peripheral signals. An algorithm aimed at detecting heart rhythm was introduced and applied. Utilizing preprocessed signals, various indices, predominantly utilized for assessing other peripheral signals such as STD RRr, RMSSD, IBI, HURST, ApEn, NN300, HRT, and pNN300, were computed across 69 patient measurements sourced from the
