The study investigates whether the use of eye movement recordings can provide a reliable diagnostic of previously undiagnosed mild traumatic brain injury (blast and impact) in Operations Enduring Freedom or Iraqi Freedom (OIF/OEF) veterans.
Eligibility Criteria
Inclusion Criteria
- OIF/OEF Veteran;
- Neuropsych diagnosis of MTBI
Exclusion Criteria
- chronically abusing alcohol or illicit drugs.
- uncorrected vision prevents subject from effectively viewing the stimuli, unless they can wear contact lenses during the recording session.
- inability to make normal eye movements (i.e.: saccades, smooth pursuit) required by study paradigms. Note: Deficit can be caused by taking medications that can potentially affect eye movements or any neurological condition that can interfere with making normal eye movement.
- psychological or psychiatric conditions that preclude sustained concentration or ability to perform the tasks.
