Measuring brain mechanics Researchers like Em Triolo (ME Ph.D. ’24) are testing imaging methods that could provide insights about brain diseases like Alzheimer’s.

I am conflicted. While it is indeed leaving space for people like this one to dominate the conversation, the toxicity of the platform is not good for my own mental health. My best hope is that Bluesky continues to grow its user base.

In our recent study published in Physics in Medicine & Biology, we developed 7T MR Elastography imaging for quantifying human brain stiffness at 1.1mm resolution, an unprecedented detailed look into human brain mechanics.
