On their eye tracking?

Yeah, on their- I see.

They throw the test.

They throw the test.

So their baseline is, I mean, I don't think that's very common, but that's a way you can game the system.

But

As long as it's performed well, that's a very good way of detecting subtle problems with the brain.

You're a vision scientist, so you understand how important all the circuits are in terms of – and the visual system is unique because it tests the brain from the retina.

all the way back to the occipital lobe.

So it's the whole longitudinal access of the brain that's being tested.

It is tricky.

And I think we have better methods of even at the if you're talking about sports on the sideline of doing testing.

There are neurosurgeons there now who are part of the process.

So as far as recovering, in general, it's good to not stress the brain, but total absence of sensory information, sensory deprivation for long periods is not a good idea.

Right, just staying home in the dark with sunglasses on, also not a good idea.

Exactly.

So you want to make sure the brain still has input, but you don't want to overstress it when you're recovering from a concussion.

Yeah, there's a lot of good evidence for that.

In fact, some studies have suggested that taking statins reduces the risk of cognitive decline, including conditions like Alzheimer's.

Yeah.
