This paper is a review conducted by Auburn University and Pison researchers of existing research on the use of of neuromechanical probabilistic models as tools for assessing mild traumatic brain injury. The emphasis was on reaction time’s role in predictive diagnostics.  Results showed that such metrics may enhance the sensitivity and utility of assessment and…

For athletes at any level—youth, high school, college and professional—brain trauma is a major concern. Despite increased awareness of safety measures and concussion protocol, many concussions and head injuries still go undiagnosed. In this white paper, we explain how an athlete’s reaction time is affected by brain trauma. We also explore how integrating a simple…
