Abstract

The effect of mechanical vibration and light stimulation on the ongoing and evoked bioelectrical activity was studied in two cases with clinically defined brain death and two other patients with severe head injury, one of them with an isoelectric EEG. The importance of such stimulation sequences for the definition of brain death is discussed, with particular emphasis on mechanical vibration.
