Collision Tracking and Brain Mapping

Abstract

According to the Mayo Clinic, repeated head traumas may lead to a neurodegenerative condition known as chronic traumatic encephalopathy (CTE). Recently, postmortem analysis has shown that American football players have a high occurrence of CTE. An analysis of the effect of collisions between different players during a football game will provide data that further contributes to the understanding of player interactions and the effect this has on the brain.
