Excerpt

Legions of clinical neuroscientists have, in addition to monitoring primary brain modalities such as intracranial pressure (ICP) or brain tissue oxygenation, been dreaming for decades of being able to use validated secondary modalities able to describe brain homeostasis more precisely and to anticipate brain function deterioration. …
