Integrated Eye Tracking and Neural Monitoring for Enhanced Assessment of Mild TBI
Abstract
The objective of this study (Fusion) is to validate methods combining EEG and eye tracking for assessment of mild traumatic brain injury (mild TBI). Phase 1, the Fusion Pilot Study (n=30) was completed in Y3Q1. Phase 2, the Fusion Primary Phase (n=67) completed data collection in Y4Q4. The majority of Phase 2 data analysis is complete, and has produced results providing robust support for study hypotheses and validation of Fusion assessment approaches. Dissemination and additional follow-up analyses are underway. Phase 3, the Fusion Clinical Optimization Phase, was initiated in Y5Q1. Implementation of the Fusion-AMP (Advanced Mobile Prototype) was completed in Y5Q2; additional refinements to software and hardware are underway. Phase 3 data collection began in Y5Q2 at Naval Medical Center San Diego (NMCSD) and in Y5Q4 at Naval Hospital Camp Pendleton (NHCP). MRI was added to Phase 3 at NMCSD to make up for MRI collection shortfalls in the Primary Phase; a research scientist was also hired to take the lead in finalizing the MRI protocol and performing imaging analysis. To date, n=42 participants have been enrolled in the Phase 3 study at NMCSD/NHCP, n=7 of whom have also completed the MRI portion of the study. Additional Y5 accomplishments include presentation of Primary phase results at multiple scientific meetings and colloquia and submission of multiple grant proposals leveraging Fusion technology and results
