Because the sleep-wake cycle and certain eye movements are not controlled by the cortex or the thalamus, they can continue without conscious awareness. Even acts of crying and smiling may be reflexive events that do not occur in response to specific stimuli...
...Lawrence, Colgate, and Cornell each went out of their respective ways to repeatedly bump into Grumet-Morris and knock him to the ground, which, at least in the ECAC’s final weekend, made the Hobey Baker candidate appear awfully uncomfortable at times...
...second hot-button issue this case presents is the issue of patients in a persistent vegetative state (PVS). Patients in PVSs, sadly, do not appear to be unaware, even though they are. A CT scan of Schiavo’s brain (available at http://www.miami.edu/ethics/schiavo/CT%20scan.png) reveals that the majority of her brain is liquefied. But, sadly, to a hopeful parent, movements and sounds can indicate some sort of response rather than reflex. Cases involving PVSs—and there are many—often are difficult for precisely that reason...

It theoretically supports the "m3u" music play list, a standardized format used by many players except for iTunes, but I couldn't get it to work. The PSP has other limitations on its multimedia. It does not support song formats...
