Ethical implications

T4.2 Ethics (ULG, all except INS): evaluate project’s S&T socio-ethical implications. Provide open document for wide dissemination and public understanding and for policy makers. Address the impact of potential negative findings of experimental/clinical work and how clinicians and families can deal with them. Analyse next-of-kin verbal reports on how they receive differential diagnosis and NIBS results for their patient, then provide short guides of popularized content addressing to next of kin for psycho-educative purposes on M/EEG assessment and NIBS and guidelines on pragmatic criteria for the differentiation between DOCs – clinical translation of experimental findings. Create and manage a discussion forum on clinical management (pain treatment, treatment limitation) based on the clinical diagnosis delivered by M/EEG measurements and on legal competency of (potentially) recovered patients from NIBS.
