KSL recently aired a news story on our research of the arachnoid trabeculae in mild traumatic brain injury. Through optical coherence tomography imaging and finite element modeling, we’ve shown that these microstructures dictate force distribution from the skull to the brain. By implementing the natural variability of the structures into our models, we’ve been able...

A collaboration between biomechanics, robotics, biology, and electrical engineering has led to the proposed development of a smart helmet to reduce risk of concussion. The helmet would offer active (instead of passive) impact protection and offer a unique warning system that could reduce head angular accelerations from impact. Ed Yeates and KSL recently spotlighted the project. Funding...
