    Abstract

    DESIGN: This review examines studies that used spontaneous electroencephalography (EEG), evoked potentials (EP), event-related potentials (ERP), and magnetoencephalography (MEG) to detect brain dysfunction in mild traumatic brain injured (MTBI) subjects. CONCLUSIONS: The following conclusions are offered: (1) standard clinical EEG is not useful; however, newer analytical procedures may be proven valuable; (2) consistent with current theory of MTBI, cognitive ERPs seem to be more sensitive to injury than EPs; (3) development of an assessment battery that may include EEG, EPs, ERPs, and neuropsychologic testing is advocated.
