DISCRIMINANT
FUNCTIONS
Pattern
recognition programs
to provide a probability of the
detection of a pattern in the EEG that is commonly present in
patients with a history of
Mild
Traumatic
Brain Injured

patients with a history of

Disability.

Please note that only EEG recorded
using a linked ears reference is to be used with the discriminant
functions. Some amplifier systems such as the Mitsar, Nicolet and
Neuroscan/NuAmp/Synamp amplifiers are not to be used to evaluate the discriminant
functions. Also, other constraints such as age must be adhered to as well
as only patients with a history of learning disabilities or a history of mild traumatic brain injury
are to be evaluated. The TBI discriminant function is not designed to detect moderate to severe TBI, only
individuals with a history of Mild TBI should be evaluated with the TBI
discriminant function. Discriminant functions are not to be used for purposes of diagnosis, but rather
to confirm or disconfirm a hypothesis and to more deeply explore which aspects
of brain function may be contributing to a patient's symptoms and
complaints. Under FDA filings only competent and qualified individuals are
to use NeuroGuide and the discriminant functions.
