    Summary
    Neural responses to violations of global regularities are thought to require consciousness. However, Tzovara et al. show that some comatose patients can also detect deviations in sequences composed of repeated groups of sounds, suggesting that the unconscious brain has a greater capacity to track sensory inputs than previously believed
