  • Intracranial waves in healthy elderly volunteers

    Determination of craniospinal compliance (i.e. the body's ability to accommodate changes in intracranial volume without substantial increase in intracranial pressure) is an integral component of the diagnostic of diseases such as hydrocephalus. This procedure is however highly invasive. The goal of the present project is to test and validate an alternative non-invasive procedure to measure craniospinal compliance. more

  • Analysis of pathophysiologic signals in hydrocephalus

    The core task of this interdisciplinary master thesis project at the interface of physiology and biomedical engineering is the processing and analysis of invasively acquired pressure signals in various compartments of the body. It is part of a joint research endeavor with the ETH Zurich Product Development Group.   more

  • Fluid mechanical interrelationship of the perilymph and the cerebro-spinal fluid

    The focus of this research is to better understand the biofluid-mechanical interrelationship of the perilymph of the inner ear and the cerebro-spinal fluid. more
