Neural cognition processing of working memory in traumatic brain injury (TBI) patients - an ERP and a breamforming analysis of EEG and MEG data

Traumatic Brain Injury is a type of brain damage that is caused by a jolt or blow to the head from blunt or penetrating trauma. It is a non-degenerative, non-congenital revile to the brain that leads to temporary or permanent deterioration of cognitive, physical, and psychosocial functions, with...
