Talented Hokies Research Brain Impacts While Battling Aggies

Abstract

While they were busy overpowering the Texas A&M Aggies Sept. 18 in Lane Stadium, the Virginia Tech Hokies became the first athletes in the world to test a new brain injury monitoring system. Every year in the United States, thousands of athletes suffer traumatic brain injuries and many die as a result. Virginia Tech researchers and sports medicine professionals have launched the monitoring project in an attempt to help prevent these injuries.
