Evidence from studies of memory and awareness during general anaesthesia suggests that some form of cognitive functioning is preserved in surgical patients. This finding has important implications both for clinical practice and for psychological theories of memory. In order to give the methodological background of the present situation in this field of research, this article deals, on the basis of recent experiments, with important methodological aspects of studies into perception and memory during general anaesthesia.
