Brian Edlow

Dr. Brian Edlow, a neurocritical care expert at Massachusetts General Hospital, and Dr. Yelena Bodine, an assistant professor at Vanderbilt University, dive into cognitive motor dissociation (CMD) within neurocritical care. They discuss how some patients presumed to be in a coma may actually process thoughts with advanced imaging techniques like fMRI and EEG. The guests address ethical challenges in using these technologies and advocate for improved access for underserved populations, emphasizing the need for 'prognostic humility' in patient assessments.
