Abstract
Mild traumatic brain injury (mTBI) in adolecents has gained
increased attention in recent years amongst parents, clinicians, and
researchers due to their growing rate and hazardous outcomes.
Electroencephalography (EEG) and Event-Related Potential (ERP)
have been encouraged as a diagnostic tool for mTBI due to its objectivity and cost-effectiveness. However, extracting clinically meaningful neuro-cognitive information from human EEG/ERP is
challenging, particularly in highly variable groups like adolescents.
Therefore, it is not surprising that despite them being especially susceptible to the effects of mTBI, no sensitive and specific application
of EEG has yet been determined for this age group.
