DESCRIPTION:Awareness and the presence of intent\, both in everyday life a
 nd in the clinic\, are inferred primarily through our behaviour. But what 
 if you were aware but unable to express it? Modern neuroscience is uncover
 ing rare but remarkable examples of such awareness in the so-called vegeta
 tive state\, with profound implications for a caring society. Using visual
 isations backed up by evidence\, I will highlight what current research ca
 n tell us about the neural correlates of consciousness in health and disea
 se\, and how this understanding is helping us identify crucial brain netwo
 rks that could support hidden awareness in some seemingly vegetative patie
 nts.
