Objective Neurophysiological Measures of Cognitive Performance in Elite Ice Hockey Players by Kirby ED, Jones K, Campbell N, Fickling SD, D'Arcy RCN

“…While brain vital signs were collected to help manage concussion, the current investigation focused on a retrospective performance analysis of cognitive processing differences.Results: The results revealed three interesting findings: 1) Player position differences were detectable in sensory N100 latency, with significantly faster responses for forwards compared to defense; 2) Goalies showed significantly higher attention P300 amplitude compared to all other positions; and 3) Cognitive N400 processing differences were detectable only during competitive combine testing, showing 60ms latency differences between forwards and defense on average.Discussion: The current findings suggest that neurophysiological responses, which are also sensitive to concussion, may be used to identify sensory, attentional, and cognitive processing differences to help optimize peak performance.Keywords: electroencephalography, event-related potentials, brain vital signs, performance optimization, ice hockey…”
