Brain Biometrics Aid in Identifying Sports Concussions
Novel brain biometrics could help inform whether an athlete is ready to return to play following a concussion, according to new research from the University of South Australia . Conducted in partnership with the University of California San Francisco (UCFC), researchers found that changes in micromovements of the brain - termed 'headpulses' - could detect the lasting impacts of a concussion. Using a custom-designed headset* to evaluate headpulse biometrics among 101 amateur male and female Australian Rules Football players in South Australia, researchers identified brain abnormalities in 81% of players inflicted by concussion, signalling sustained injury beyond expected recovery times.
