Ashrafiuon states, "It can basically be used to diagnose any "health problem" that affects brain activity. We hope to monitor brain health in patients with mild traumatic brain injury, post-traumatic stress disorder, Alzheimer's disease, mild cognitive impairment, and sleep and circadian disorders."
