An objective screening platform for mTBI screening includes a vergence testing stimulus generator visible to a subject and configured for presenting visual stimulus to a subject which forms an optical target stimulus for at least one vergence test; at least one data acquisition unit for obtaining objective physiologic responses of the subject unit based upon each of the visual stimulus presented to the subject in each test, wherein the objective physiologic responses for each test include at least one eye position parameter and at least one pupil area parameter; and a controller configured for using at least one eye position parameter and at least one pupil area parameter to screen for the presence of mTBI of the subject.

A system that enables dynamic discrete decision simulation is provided. Simulation has many advantages in modeling complex systems to facilitate decision making. The innovation discloses a system that integrates an agent-based discrete event simulator, a geographic information system, a rule base, and interactive databases in addition to interfaces and other supporting components. The modules can seamlessly communicate with each other by exchanging a progression of data, and by making a series of deductive decisions through embedded algorithms. The integrated system can be applied to disaster management planning and training.

A postural assessment chair provides a device for monitoring the posture of an individual seated thereon, and correlating changes in the individual's posture, along with indicia of movement of the chair itself and the cognitive workload of the individual, to determine the mental engagement of the individual.
