        Participants stopped squeezing the ball at lower sedative concentrations than those required to stop responding to verbal commands.
        
        EEG data pinpointed transitions within a five- to six-second window, significantly more precise than traditional methods.
      - Implications for Consciousness Research
        
        The study refined the understanding of connected consciousness, distinguishing between internally and externally driven behaviors.
        
        It highlighted the continuum of consciousness and provided a framework for studying transitions with minimal disruption.
      - Clinical and Philosophical Applications
        
        The method is being integrated into clinical practice to ease the induction of anesthesia for patients undergoing surgery.
        
        Insights from the study could inform treatments for sleep disorders, coma recovery, and other conditions affecting consciousness.
        
        The findings contribute to broader philosophical discussions about the nature and definition of consciousness.
