Here's more on the new fMRI techniques that can help determine if there's any significant brain activity in vegetative patients. Probably not going to help doctors figure out a way to bring them out of it or communicate in any real way (beyond "yes/no"), but helpful for families faced with the decision to pull the plug or not.
