Evaluating a Novel Method of EEG Evoked Response Potential Analysis in Concussion Assessment, Young Adults and Adults

Concussion is widely recognized as a major public health concern in the United States and worldwide. Although many concussions resolve completely and spontaneously, almost 1 in 4 patients will go on to experience post-concussion syndrome (PCS). In the United States, PCS diagnoses have increased 100% from 2010-2015. Concurrently, recent advances in EEG evoked response potential analysis have led to a novel technique for assessing brain network activation (BNA) patterns. The purpose of this study is to explore the use of BNA in individuals who are diagnosed with PCS or have the risk of experiencing PCS due to a recent injury.
