Mechanics of Brain Development and Traumatic Brain Injury
The Bayly lab studies dynamic, mechanical phenomena in biomedical systems, including cortical folding during development and tissue mechanics in traumatic brain injury. For these studies they use a combination of advanced imaging techniques–including MRI– computational modeling, and animal models of traumatic brain injury.
