For some of it, it's difficult to predict when it will lead to actual, practical, clinical therapeutic results. For example, for the virtual reality technologies that we have now...we're finding some greater willingness for soldiers to stay in treatment.
It's one thing to get people to start treatment. We lose a lot of folks because they withdraw from care for various reasons. Then they don't get fully cured. They don't get the best benefit from therapy.
Neuroimaging is probably the most promising element, particularly something called “magnetoencephalography”. That provides real-time imaging with no delay, whereas even a functional MRI has a certain delay that occurs in the imaging of the brain's functions. It provides both a functional...and the FMRI provides a structural demonstration of what's happening in the brain. Because the magnetoencephalography is so rapid, that is going to help us. It's already permitting us to detect patterns in the functioning of the brain that are physiologically different in depression, post-traumatic stress disorder, and mild traumatic brain injury. That's moving very quickly.
The more broadly the equipment gets disseminated across at least the academic centres for now—and ultimately the treatment centres—the more it will enhance the speed with which we can do diagnostics, the confirmation of the trajectory of care and recovery, and possibly even predict who will have greater susceptibility to post-traumatic disorder or other conditions.
