To give you a brief overview of the two studies, they are:

The Concussion Study-- a one day study that involves neuropsychological assessments along with a variety of brain scans. We are looking for individuals ages 18-45 who had a head injury or concussion in the past year.  They must have no metal in their body, and speak English as a primary language.

The Light Exposure Concussion Treatment Study-- is a longitudinal, 7-week treatment study that involves in-home use of a light device in the morning as well as four visits to the University of Arizona that include neuropsychological assessments along with several brain scans. We are looking for individuals ages 18-50 who had a head injury or concussion in the past 18 months.  They must have no metal in their body, and speak English as a primary language. 

An Institutional Review Board responsible for human subjects research at The University of Arizona reviewed this research project and found it to be acceptable, according to applicable state and federal regulations and University policies designed to protect the rights and welfare of participants in research.
