First you'd need the mechanical properties of those tissues. And being closely affiliated with people researching that, let me tell you, that brain matter is quite weird. Highly anisotropic, non-Newtonian. I'm currently working on an OCT elastography systems with which we intend to measure the mechanical properties of various brain tissue in-vivo during brain tumor surgeries.

@andygates @zl2tod @hannu_ikonen @clive @violetmadder Actually it's more like gelatinous ketchup. Behaves like jelly if undisturbed, but liquefies non-homogeneously under stress. @datenwolf @andygates @zl2tod @hannu_ikonen @clive @violetmadder Well I feel a lot worse about my thinking Heinz now @ciggysmokebringer @datenwolf @zl2tod @hannu_ikonen @clive @violetmadder Won't be tapping the bottle without complicated thoughts! @zl2tod @hannu_ikonen @clive @violetmadder Here's the latest publication from our group doing the elastography research: https://doi.org/10.1364/BOE.510020 |
@datenwolf @zl2tod @hannu_ikonen @clive @violetmadder Non Newtonian? Don't shatter my thinking oobleck!
