Abstract
Purpose
The purpose of this paper is to discuss the possibility and necessity of using grey system theory in neuropsychological studies.
Design/methodology/approach
The paper employs a logical analysis approach.
Findings
There are three characteristics of neuropsychological studies: the particularity of the study subjects; the specialty of the study scheme; and insufficient data from traditional statistical methods. Grey system theory is appropriate for analyzing the data collected in neuropsychological studies.
Originality/value
After several years' significant development, grey system theory has been applied in various subjects successfully. However, the application in psychology and medicine is still a rarity.
