This study investigates the ability of a system, using sensors to observe the performance of a simple task, to automatically recognize which individuals have a cognitive impairment, such as traumatic brain injury (TBI) or dementia, and which do not. The study uses data collected from five individuals with a cognitive impairment and five unimpaired individuals, and extends previous work that looked only at impaired individuals to assess the severity of their impairments. One of the metrics presented is able to completely separate the impaired individuals from the unimpaired individuals, with statistically significant differences between the two sets of individuals.
