    Abstract: A cognitive function evaluation method and system involves prompting a test subject (person) to engage in movement, such as whole-body movement, for example sports-specific movement, while tracking movement of the person. Data can be gathered from the tracking of the person's movement. This data can be compared with baseline data from an earlier test (or with data gathered from other subjects), to make a determination of cognitive function of the test subject, or to evaluate progress in rehabilitation and/or aid in making a determination whether a person is ready to resume specified activities, such as an athlete returning to a sport. Such a determination can be made under realistic activity-specific conditions (for example using increased metabolic rate and/or activity-specific movements that may test/challenge the test subjects cognition, vestibular, and/or visual performance/abilities), to allow a for determination of the person's cognitive function.
