Minor Traumatic Brain Injury (TBI) Clinical Trial
Official title:
Evaluate the Effectiveness of Brain Network Activation (BNA™) Technology in the Management of Sport Related Concussion in the College Age Athletes
Currently, there is no direct, reliable, bed-side, and non-invasive method for assessing
changes in brain activity associated with concussion. Event Related Potentials (ERPs), which
are temporal reflections of the neural mass electrical activity of cells in specific regions
of the brain that occur in response to stimuli, may offer such a method, as they provide
both a noninvasive and portable measure of brain function. The ERPs provide excellent
temporal information, but spatial resolution for ERPs has traditionally been limited.
However, by using high-density electroencephalograph (EEG) recording spatial resolution for
ERPs is improved significantly. The paradigm for the current study will combine
neurophysiological knowledge with mathematical signal processing and pattern recognition
methods (BNA™) to temporally and spatially map brain function, connectivity and
synchronization.
The proposed study will provide additional evidence for the utility and contribution of the
BNA™ test (reflecting temporal and spatial changes in brain activity as well as brain
functional connectivity associated with concussion) in concussion management.
