Brain and behavioural assessment in traumatic brain injury
Our lab has expertise in the assessment of traumatic brain injury using behavioural and cerebrovascular physiological techniques. These combined approaches allow more objective insight into the diagnosis, management and return-to-activity decisions following a concussion.
