Research abstract
A proposal for objective measurement of neural plasticity due to tinnitus using audiometrics coupled with a portable functional brain scanner is given. The scanner uses functional near infrared spectroscopy (fNIRS), a non-invasive and non-ionizing measurement technology. This technology is suitable for field or lab deployment and may find additional use in characterizing traumatic brain injury.
