Viscoelastic modeling of cerebrospinal fluid dynamics
We have conducted acute in-vivo trials to better quantify these relationships in a physiologic state. One phenomenon that we study is the viscoelastic behaviour of cranial tissue and how that effects CSF dynamics. As viscoelasticity is a non-trivial entity, it requires further effort.

With the end goal of the design of an actively controlled "SmartShunt", the hydrocephalus project also aims to further illuminate cerebrospinal fluid (CSF) dynamic relationships. We have conducted acute in-vivo trials to better quantify these relationships in a physiologic state.
