Mild traumatic brain injury (mTBI) is a common condition
that affects many people around the world. While some
cases resolve without long-term side effects, others
have to live with permanent disabilities such as
learning difficulties, behavioral issues, and memory
loss [1]. Conventional imaging techniques are unable to
detect abnormalities in the brain of mTBI patients that
have shown delayed functional response on
neuropsychological evaluation. Therefore, the main
objective of this study was to explore a novel analysis
approach involving measurement of the temporal fractal
nature of the resting state blood oxygen level depending
(rsBOLD) signal
