My Fulbright research will develop the role of artificial intelligence and portable magnetic resonance imaging in the evaluation of acute unconsciousness. Unconsciousness, including new-onset coma, can herald a number of disabling or life-threatening illnesses. It is hoped that this line of work will improve outcomes for vulnerable patients in future.
