Detecting concussion injuries using novel neck ‘bandages’
Sensors used to detect head impacts in athletes who play high-impact sports like football traditionally have been placed inside their helmets, which can lead to false or incomplete readings. Michigan State University researchers have created a thin sensor that instead can be worn on an athlete’s neck, which has been shown to be 90% effective at identifying concussion injuries.
Jeffrey Nanzer named Google Research Scholar
Jeffrey Nanzer of Michigan State University will advance mobile millimeter wave networks as a Google Research Scholar, a select effort by Google to fund world-class research conducted by early-career professors.
