Researchers at the University of Calgary are using Near-Infrared Spectroscopy (fNIRS) to monitor the impact of concussions. The non-invasive and portable device measures the changes in blood oxygen levels as a marker of brain function. Results show these patterns change after concussion. Ongoing research will examine the connection between symptoms and abnormalities in the brain that could help doctors identify treatment protocols and recovery timelines.
