The scope of human consciousness includes states departing from what most of us
experience as ordinary wakefulness. These altered states of consciousness constitute a …

Understanding recovery of consciousness and elucidating its underlying mechanism is
believed to be crucial in the field of basic neuroscience and medicine. Ideas such as the …
