The Brain Physics Laboratory About Us: The laboratory belongs to the Neurosurgery Unit of University of Cambridge and mainly focuses on research into physical interactions between volumes, flows, and pressures in the brain. First-line priorities of Brain Physics include: measurement, data processing and analysis, forecasting, and modeling of various cerebral phenomena as autoregulation of CBF or pressure-volume compensation of CSF. ​ The Brain Physics 30 Short Lectures: The lectures are run by Prof. Marek Czosnyka, and are for both engineers and clinicians. You can click on this link to participate and in due course to download the lecture slides.

​ICM+ Software

In a Clinical Neurosciences environment, enormous quantities of data can be captured from each patient, from which information regarding cerebral autoregulation, cerebrospinal compensatory reserve, oxygenation, metabolite production and function can be obtained. Recognition of changing cerebrovascular haemodynamics and oxygenation demands not only reliable monitoring techniques, but also sophisticated and time-consuming signal analysis. This can be provided by dedicated computer support.
