Overview
This is a preliminary, prospective, cohort study to investigate the feasibility of using the COGED and Restless Bandit tasks after a mild to moderate traumatic brain injury as well as in healthy controls.
Description
This study aims to measure the effects of traumatic brain injury in the acute and subacute phases of recovery using these two noninvasive computerized assessments (COGED and bandit). All participants engaged in the study will participate in a total of three visits at Hennepin Healthcare Systems, Inc. (HHS). Each visit will consist of surveys and computerized assessments that will help researchers to understand the effects of decision-making on mental fatigue.
