In silico, in vivo, and in vitro CSF experiments. Laser Doppler vibrometry surface motion analysis of an in vitro spinal cord model (left), in vivo MR pulse wave velocity measurement in the spinal canal (center), and an in vitro cerebrospinal fluid system model (right).


Welcome to the NIML

The Neurophysiological Imaging and Modeling Laboratory (NIML) at The University of Idaho Department of Biological Engineering is led by Dr. Bryn Martin. Our aim is to conduct clinical translational research that enhances human health and well being for the millions of people affected by CNS disorders. We develop and apply advanced MR imaging and computational modeling techniques to investigate the pathophysiology of CNS disorders and therapeutics from a hydrodynamic and biomechanical perspective and develop related medical technologies.

Research

The NIML's conducts in vivo, in vitro and in silico experiments to investigate four main areas of research (Figure 1):

  1. Intrathecal drug and gene vector delivery
  2. Hydrocephalus and Chiari malformation
  3. Medical devices and technology
  4. Neurodegenerative disorders
  5. Ocular biomechanics in astronauts
  6. Traumatic brain injury
