MsCr measures are sensitive to compromised capacity for information processing. The most significant MsCr features for each of the analyzed data sets. (A) The time dependent behavior of the neural gain parameter σ differentiates between control subjects and DOC patients and between vegetative state (VS) and minimally conscious (MC) subjects. MsCr measures were derived from high density EEG collected during an auditory task. (B) The slope of the σ/α curve $a_{\sigma ,\alpha }$, derived from joint MEG/EEG collected during an attention task is attenuated in MCI patients. This curve describes the time dependent relationship between the neural gain parameter σ, and the exponent α of the avalanche size distribution. (C) The slope of the α δ curve $a_{\alpha ,\delta }$, derived from resting state MEG is attenuated participants with schizophrenia. This curve describes the time dependent relationship between the exponent α of the avalanche size distribution, and the exponent δ, of the inter-avalanche interval distribution (IAI). (D) The slope of the δ curve $a_{\delta }$, derived from resting state EEG is attenuated during pre-ictal activity. This curve describes the time dependent behavior of the IAI distribution.
