N2 - An estimated 1.4 million Americans suffer from traumatic brain injury (TBI) each year [1]. Current methods of detecting TBI, such as computerized tomography (CT), magnetic resonance imaging (MRI), and Positron Emission Tomography (PET) scanning are time-consuming and expensive [2]. Here, the viability of a potentially more cost-effective means of detecting TBI is presented. Support vector machine (SVM) analyses are employed to classify 15 TBI and 15 normal individuals' EEG recordings taken during a working memory test. The features used by the SVM analyses include different sets of event-related Tsallis entropy functionals. The analyses demonstrate a strong correlation between the event-related functionals (ERFs) and the presence of TBI, attaining classification accuracies as high as 90%.
