Geometry, skull growth and brain mechanics
(PHYSorg.com Mathematics)

Professor Alain Goriely is Professor of Mathematical modelling at Oxford University`s Mathematical Institute and founder of the International Brain Mechanics and Trauma Lab (IBMTL). He talks to ScienceBlog about the key findings from his recently published work `Dimensional, Geometrical and Physical Constraints in Skull Growth`, and how geometry and mathematical modelling can help us to understand the mechanics of the brain.
