Raising Consciousness: Part I
Raising Consciousness: Part II

Some seemingly unconscious patients have startlingly complex brain activity. What does that mean about their potential for recovery? And what can it tell us about the nature of consciousness?

A series of articles presented by Technology Review on the neurology of consciousness, and how its study could lead to a better understanding of, and potentially treatment for, coma and related medical conditions. I haven't had a chance to read them yet, but I'm putting them here in case others might find them interesting.
