Development of a Fieldable Brain Trauma Analyzer: Phase 2
An immediate and definite need exists for a portable diagnostic device for the assessment of changes in cortical function that may form the basis for an objective diagnosis of mTBI. This project's aim is the continued development of such a portable device and testing protocol that could be used in the field with military personnel. This project investigates a multimodal approach based upon identification of characteristics of vibrotactile and visual stimuli as well as detection of sensory illusions.
