Facilitated communication is the name given to a procedure in which a comatose patient, or someone who is otherwise significantly impaired, guides their hand over a touchscreen keyboard to type a message, while their hand is being held by someone else. This method came under increased criticism lately, when the case of the Belgian man that allegedly came out of a coma after more than 23 years surfaced. Those close to him say that he is leaving them messages through facilitated communication, but scientists warn that everything having to do with this method needs to be “red flagged.”
