Abstract

•A cross validation of brain complexity measures with metabolic imaging is proposed.•TMS–EEG and 18F-FDG PET provided congruent result in post-comatose patients.•Unresponsive patients with high complexity also show preserved metabolic activity.•These patients thus probably have a specific cognitive-motor dissociation.•TMS–EEG and PET have potential clinical impact in the diagnosis of these patients.
