Primary Outcome Measures
NameTimeMethod
Change in EEG SignalsBaseline, 45 minutes post-heading, 24 hours post-heading

Sensitivity of a machine-learning based algorithm containing changes in EEG signals and functional connectivity for distinguishing research participants who headed a soccer ball from research participants who kicked the ball. A leave-one-out cross validation approach will be used.

Secondary Outcome Measures
NameTimeMethod
Change in Eye Tracking ParametersBaseline, 45 minutes post-heading, 24 hours post-heading

Sensitivity of a model containing changes in eye tracking measurements for distinguishing research participants who headed a soccer ball from research participants who kicked the ball.

Change in King-Devick Testing ScoresBaseline, 45 minutes post-heading, 24 hours post-heading

Sensitivity of a model containing changes in King-Devick test scores for distinguishing research participants who headed a soccer ball from research participants who kicked the ball.
