| 20110205167 | Brain concussion screening method & apparatus - A method and apparatus for detecting a reduction in cerebral function of an athlete, indicating the incidence of a brain concussion, by displaying a moving icon on a screen, and asking the athlete to track the movements of the icon, by following it either with the eyes or by touching a touch screen. The icon can be displayed on a device fixedly positioned relative to the head of the athlete, or on an interactive touch screen display. The athlete's performance is tested in real time, soon after the possible incidence of a concussion. The performance of the athlete can be compared to that particular person's history of test results, or to a data base of test results of other test subjects. Control of the display, tracking of the athlete's gaze or touch, and analysis of the test results, can all be performed by a computer. | 08-25-2011 |
