Fig. (3) Default Mode Network EEG Operational Connectivity as a Function of self-Consciousness Loss. The strength of EEG operational connectivity decreases from healthy full self-conscious controls (NORM), to minimally conscious (MCS) patients and then to vegetative (VS) patients. Horizontal line on Beta2 graph indicates the upper stochastic level of connectivity. Below this threshold any connectivity is random. * – p_corrected < 0.05, ** – p_corrected < 0.01.
