Just published #openaccess in the last week. Our study looking response time data in retired contact sport athletes with a history of repetitive head trauma and #concussions completing cognitive and somatosensory testing. We found no differences in outcomes (i.e., accuracy and/or errors) but we did see a significant difference in response times. The takeaway? Similar to previous studies, retired contact sport athletes can complete basic cognitive testing as accurately as aged-matched controls, but they take longer to respond. The analogy in explaining to these individuals, their families, and the wider lay public at seminars, is like driving a car with the breaks on. #openscience #science #concussioninsport #research #neuroscience #transcanialmagneticstimulation #tms #Somatosensory #neurophysiology
