Smart Sensing of Head Trauma
Abstract
The objective of this proposal is to gain fundamental understanding on the head/brain injury sensing capabilities of a conceptual smart protective equipment in a dynamic environment. This will be done by trapping living neuro cells inside a realistic phantom head model and then by covering the head with the smart protective layer that is equipped with a set of sensing elements.The injury scenario studied here includes impact (rapid acceleration/deceleration), sonic waves and laser waves. Advanced sensing elements such as EEG, pressure sensor, acceleration sensor, high-speed camera coupled with advanced digital image correlation technology will be integrated with multiscale computational models to capture high speed dynamics of a simulated brain in real time. If successful, the results generated from this study will pave the way for the development of smart helmet supporting our cognitive warrior.
