Résumé
Patients suffering from (Prolonged) Disorder of Consciousness are deemed incompetent to give valid informed consent due to the presumed impairment of their cognitive functions and the impossibility to communicate with them.

This would for the first time make it possible to include them in the decision-making on their own medical treatment. In this article, I elaborate on the prospect of communicating with patients with impaired consciousness in order to obtain their informed consent. I first map the current state-of-the-art in neuroimaging research that exhibits the possibility of communicating with some of these patients. Secondly, I examine how obtaining informed consent from these patients might be possible, given that the specificities and limitations of communication
