One can only wonder why COGSTATE held onto the concussion business so very, very tightly.....

The existing non-Cogstate NFL tests could be due for a re-vamp..... getting a bit dated...

Based on old Aussie AFL test I believe.

Maybe the big USA leagues need something better... something that is used at the level of even... say.... clinical trials by big pharma companies....?

$5 million in NFL concussion pay-outs is just the beginning.

It is not a matter of preventing each and every concussion - it is a matter of identifying those who have had a knock in a game... get them off the field ASAP... test them... and keep those who are concussed - off the field - until a doctor deems them safe to play.

I can only hope.... that what I hope... becomes reality.....


But to even have a chance at the likes of NFL and college teams... COGSTATE would have to have someone connected big-time in USA. Maybe in the media... film... Hollywood industry.

Oh.

Wait.
