Child Testing

Endocrine Laboratory

Genetics Laboratory: Identifying Genetic Risks & Factors that Mitigate Traumatic Brain Injury

Vestibular/Balance Lab

X2 Patch Accelerometer Investigation

Two-Back Memory Task

Intervention For TBI: Post-Trauma Vision Syndrome (PTVS), Visual Midline Shift Syndrome (VMSS)

Current Major Initiatives:

CTE: All former UNL Athletes Normative data, Longitudinal/Cross-sectional, Biomarkers for Risk & Recovery, Longterm outcomes, Intervention success.

NCAA-DoD: All Athletes across all sports Establish universal baseline measures to detect concussion and monitor recovery.

Longitudinal Concussion Study: Football, Soccer First year college players across years of play. Neuropsychology, symptoms, brain imaging.

TBI: Behavior, neurocognition, endocrine, genetics & brain imaging.
