A device being developed at the Zucker Institute for Applied Neurosciences at the Medical University of South Carolina will provide trainers with the ability to measure the way an athlete blinks after a head injury, to see if he or she has a concussion. “We think it may be a good way to check neurological function that can be really useful to a trainer trying to make a call on the sidelines.”
