However, the functional state of cerebral cortical networks can be rapidly and effectively probed by measuring tactile-based sensory percepts (called cortical metrics), which are designed to exercise various components of cortical machinery. In this study, such cortical metrics were obtained from 52 college students before and after they experienced sports-related concussions by delivering vibrotactile stimuli to the index and middle fingertips. Performance on four of the sensory test protocols is described: reaction time, amplitude discrimination, temporal order judgment, and duration discrimination. The collected test performance data were analyzed using methods of uni- and multivariate statistics, receiver operated characteristic (ROC) curves, and discriminant analysis. While individual cortical metrics vary extensively in their ability to discriminate between control and concussed subjects, their combined discriminative performance greatly exceeds that of any individual metric, achieving cross-validated 93.0% sensitivity, 92.3% specificity, 93.0% positive predictive value, and 92.3% negative predictive value. The cortical metrics vector can be used to track an individual\u2019s recovery from concussion. The study thus establishes that cortical metrics can be used effectively as a quantitative indicator of central nervous system health status.<\/jats:p>","DOI":"10.1093\/milmed\/usy411","type":"journal-article","created":{"date-parts":[[2019,3,22]],"date-time":"2019-03-22T16:09:20Z","timestamp":1553270960000},"page":"228-236","source":"Crossref","is-referenced-by-count":20,"title":["Quantification
