Abstract: Psychophysiological, neuropsychological and behavioral measurement tools will be developed to measure the effects of medications on attention and behavior. These tools will be used to identify drugs that are harmful and helpful to cognitive/behavioral function. The net outcome will be improved cognitive function in head injured patients through more selective medication use.
