A multi-disciplinary approach to mild traumatic brain injury

"Our goal is to create a piece of software that is capable of automatically analysing hundreds of thousands of pupil-tracked coordinates. This would allow a clinician to interpret the results and guide clinical decision making in real-world practice."
