This observational study, called The EBC Recovery Study, is looking at how brain activation to music and language might predict recovery in people with acute brain injuries. Researchers will use auditory stimuli (sounds) and an electroencephalogram (EEG), a bedside test that measures brain activity, to see if unconscious patients show brain responses. The goal is to understand if these responses are linked to better outcomes and waking up later. You might be able to join if you are an adult (18 years or older) admitted to the intensive care unit with a traumatic brain injury, intracerebral hemorrhage, or subarachnoid hemorrhagic stroke, are unconscious (Glasgow Coma Scale less than 8), and have a negative COVID-19 test. Healthy volunteers aged 18 and older can also participate. The study aims to enroll 300 participants, but its current status is unclear.
