Monitoring Neurocognitive Performance and Electrophysiological Activity After Mild Traumatic Brain Injury (mTBI)

Abstract

The objective of the study is to develop of multimodal approach to assessing concussion in the acute phase of injury. Several different measures will be included in the assessment. These include functional brain measurement techniques, anatomical brain mapping techniques, biomarkers (blood protein levels), neurocognitive performance (computer-based tests), balance testing, and behavioral health measures. The ultimate aim is to develop an objective method to diagnose mTBI in military personnel proximal to the time of injury and facilitate 'return to duty' decisions.
