Hey Brentwood! We are here to update you on our process with our study on Sub-Concussive Brain Impacts from Contact Sports in Adolescents.
We have done 65 scans so far and with our goal to complete at least 200 scans, we need more volunteers to participate in this study. In the third term, we will be recruiting volunteers from Boys & Girls Rugby and Tennis, and Girls Soccer. After completing the scans, we will analyze all the data collected and publish a research paper that will be featured in a scientific journal.
We want our pioneering study to act as a catalyst or spark, blazing a trail for more Brentwood students and faculty to conduct scientific research and, hopefully, publish some papers. We are going to have an event for students or faculty who are interested in psychology, biology or neuroscience, and want to get involved in scientific research.
During the event, we will be providing hands-on training on how to use the brain-scanning device that we have used in our study and our blueprint for publishing research as high schoolers. The event will be held on Sunday, February 27th - next weekend. More details will be sent out in the assembly email so keep an eye out for that.
If you have any questions, please feel free to contact either one of us or Mr McCarthy.
