| Abstract: | Traumatic brain injury (TBI) often involves serious cognitive complications. Recovery is primarily assessed through
behavioral observation, which provides little information about changes at the brain level. In order to investigate
functional brain activity during everyday life tasks, this research will employ a safe, affordable and portable
neuroimaging modality: functional near-infrared spectroscopy (fNIRS). The study is a preliminary establishment of
fNIRS as a clinically useful tool in TBI neuro-rehabilitation. First, fNIRS measures will be tested for their ability to
discriminate between TBI patients and healthy controls. Then, fNIRS measures will be compared to performance on
traditional cognitive tasks and EEG analyses. |
