Interesting.

Dr Robert Thatcher developed a similar qEGG device about 10 to 15 years ago. It was designed to be used on the side of the playing field. He even studies American football players wearing such a device in their helmets.

His device never appeared to make it to market. A challenge was teams did not like how it caused players to be taken off the field so they limited its use.

A medical journal article was written using bad science to discredit the value of the qEEG waveforms to indicate brain injuries.

It will be great if WAVi can get their device and protocols to be accepted by sports teams.
