Eye exam forecasts consciousness recovery in 13 seconds
A team of Danish researchers has developed a simple eye test that takes just 13 seconds and is used in intensive care units to predict the recovery of consciousness in patients with severe brain injuries. The test relies on observing the pupillary response to a stimulus called "Late Light Off Response" (LOR), which demonstrates a higher ability to predict improved levels of consciousness after seven days compared to standard measurements that only monitor the immediate reaction.
