New training aims to help veterans with brain injury and PTSD read emotions

This study tests a new training program for veterans who have both mild traumatic brain injury (mTBI) and PTSD. The training combines exercises to recognize emotions in faces and voices with attention training, since paying attention is key to understanding emotions in daily life. The goal is to help veterans improve their relationships and feel more connected in their communities. The study will enroll 20 veterans and measure changes in emotion recognition and community participation.
