Clinical validation of an optimized multimodal neurocognitive assessment of chronic mild TBI

Abstract

Previous laboratory‐based studies have shown that neurocognitive eye‐tracking metrics are sensitive to chronic effects of mild traumatic brain injury (mTBI), even in individuals with normal performance on traditional neuropsychological measures. In this study, we sought to replicate and extend these findings in a military medical environment. We expected that metrics from the multimodal Fusion n‐Back test would successfully distinguish chronic mTBI participants from controls, particularly eye movement metrics from the more cognitively challenging “1‐Back” subtest.
