Abstract

The study on "rotation translation duality in head trauma, Perceptive and objective evidence" (see IRRD 881074) offers interesting paths to pursue in order to examine the role of brain-skull decoupling. Possible paths include the following: (1) To conduct detailed set of experimental studies which will document the appearance of brain-skull displacement and response to a forced mechanical excitation for frequencies both below and above the transition point for brain-skull decoupling; (2) to relate the magnitude of brain-skull displacement to the appearance of specific brain injuries such as tearing of parasagittal bridging veins and cerebral contusions; (3) to further clarify the human response to the forced vibratory oscillation used in this study; and (4) to offer the results from the earlier experiments to experimental and computational biomechanicians interested in advancing new models for studying brain injury.
