EEG alpha power and SCL provide a stable measure of arousal disturbance following severe traumatic brain injury. Diminished arousal was associated with reduced volume in the amygdala and thalamus. Lower affective empathy was associated with reduced volume in the amygdala and hippocampus. These relationships were found for participants with and without brain injury.
