Description

Football isn’t just a contact sport — it’s a dangerous game of massive bodies colliding into one another. And while it may seem obvious that this sport can do extraordinary damage to brains and bodies, it’s taken far too long for the NFL, the medical community, and football fans to fully reckon with this. On the episode today we are speaking with Morgan Ingmanson who is the Director of Medical Affairs, at Evoke Neuroscience- she’s the leading scientist in computational EEG neuroimaging, providing expert consultations to assist physicians in using electrophysiology biomarkers to diagnose cognitive disorders such as MCI, dementia, and pseudo-dementia. In this episode we discuss: 1. What is a concussion and what is a CTE2. How can you diagnose a concussion? 3. What happens to someone after they take regular blows to the head4. The truth about the NFL protocol 5. Evoke Neuroscience , EEG and qEEG6. Biomarkers for diagnosing concussions 7. When can a player return to play after sub-concussive impact8. Where to go to get a brain scan 9.
