In-Clinic Measurements of Vascular Risk and Brain Activity
This investigator-initiated study, published in The Journal of Ageing and Longevity (2022), examined real-world clinical data collected from adult participants as part of an exploratory research effort. By analyzing routinely acquired EEG data, the study contributes to a growing body of evidence supporting the use of advanced neurophysiological tools in clinical and research settings.
WAVi supported this research by providing EEG data acquisition hardware for use in the study. The study design, data analysis, and interpretation were conducted independently by the investigators.

In-Clinic Event Related Potentials after Sports Concussion: A 4-Year Study
This blinded, multi-year study followed 364 student-athletes (ages 17–23) participating in contact sports, tracking changes before and after concussion across multiple seasons.
Researchers evaluated event-related potentials (P300), along with physical reaction time and Trail Making tests, alongside standard clinical assessments. Changes in these measures following concussion were compared with clinical outcomes across different stages of recovery, offering additional insight into neurophysiological responses over time.
WAVi provided EEG data acquisition hardware for research use. Study design, data analysis, and interpretation were conducted independently by the investigators.

Electrophysiological Trajectories of Concussion Recovery: From Acute to Prolonged Stages in Late Teenagers
Research has shown measurable differences in EEG-derived signals between concussed and non-concussed individuals. However, fewer studies have examined how these signals change throughout recovery, from the initial injury through symptom resolution and into longer recovery phases.
This study focused on tracking these changes over time, comparing recovery patterns between simple and complex concussion. The findings add to ongoing research exploring how neurophysiological measures relate to clinical recovery and symptom progression.

P300 Evoked Response Potentials Patterns in Different Complex Concussion Phenotypes
This study evaluated whether P300 event-related potential (ERP) voltage patterns could provide insight into differences observed in patients with complex concussion or persistent post-concussive symptoms (PPCS).
By examining these EEG-derived signals, researchers explored how neurophysiological patterns may vary across individuals experiencing prolonged or more complex recovery trajectories.
