  • aged 18-35 years old
  • self-report cleared for sports and physical activity
  • Concussion history group
  • \- self-report experiencing a concussion with the National Institute of Health common data element form

  • self-report uncorrected vision problems (not included color blindness)
  • self-reported history of neurological disease
  • self-reported history of seizures/syncope or family history of epilepsy
  • self-reported history of frequent severe headaches or migraine.
  • self-reported history of respiratory or heart disease.
  • self-reported structural brain lesions (e.g., stroke)
  • self-reported increased intracranial pressure, such as after infarctions or trauma.
  • self-reported currently using antidepressants, neuroleptic medication, medication that lowers seizure threshold, or any other medication that would interfere with testing.
  • self-reported currently experiencing a high fever (day of testing; \>102.9 degrees)
  • self-reported currently undergoing immunosuppressive therapy
  • pregnancy
  • metal anywhere in the head (except the mouth).
