Summary

This trial will test whether VR brain training can help improve cognitive function in healthy people and those with TBI.

Who is the study for?
This trial is for adults over 18 with good hearing and vision, who don't play action or VR video games. It includes healthy young adults, older adults without neurological issues, and college athletes recently diagnosed with mild traumatic brain injury (concussion).
What is being tested?
The study compares the effectiveness of brain training exercises when done in Virtual Reality versus on a computer screen. It aims to see if VR can enhance cognitive rehabilitation after a traumatic brain injury.
What are the potential side effects?
Potential side effects may include dizziness, nausea, eye strain or headaches due to virtual reality exposure; however, these are generally mild and temporary.
