Brief Summary
This study is designed to collect data which will be used to associate changes in EEG, neurocognitive performance, eNPC and clinical symptoms in concussion subtypes. The study will recruit males and f...
Detailed Description
Phase 1 of this project (USAMRDC W81XWH-18-C-0157) was focused on building the automated/electronic NPC capability (eNPC). This protocol is for Phase 2, in which the CI multimodal brain function bioma...

- For matched controls and healthy volunteers
- Any focal neurological signs including aphasia, apraxia, diplopia, facial droop, dysarthria/slurred speech;
