Feasibility of Electroencephalography for Direct Assessment of Concussion

  • Chapter
  • First Online:
Concussions in Athletics

Abstract

In this chapter, we will focus on sport-related concussions as studied through the use of electroencephalography. It should be noted that in this chapter the terms concussion and mild traumatic brain injury are used interchangeably.
