Workshops

Aim
These professional workshops aim to provide a good understanding of brain injury, the links between head loading and brain injury, and the design and assessment of brain protection systems.

Topics
1. Brain injury mechanisms
2. Brain injury criteria and thresholds
3. State-of-the-art test methods for assessing head protection systems
4. Current head protection systems
5. Wearables for measuring head loading
6. Trends in improving brain health
Style
We use a delivery style that utilises active learning. Course material will be provided beforehand, allowing participants to prepare before attending the session. The session will engage participants through group activities and the use of technologies, like Mentimeter, to enhance participation.
Learning outcomes
- Explain the types of brain injuries.
- Suggest brain injury criteria.
- Evaluate head protection systems.
- Propose new ideas for designing novel head protection.
- Explain the use of technologies for predicting brain injuries.
