United States Special Operations Forces (SOF) personnel are frequently exposed to explosive blasts in training and combat. However, the effects of repeated blast exposure on human brain incompletely understood. Moreover, there is currently no diagnostic test detect injury (rBBI). In this "Human Performance Optimization" article, we discuss how development implementation a reliable for rBBI has potential promote SOF health, combat readiness, quality life.
