Abstract: A new wearable silent speech interface (SSI) based on Permanent Magnetic Articulography (PMA) was developed with the involvement of end users in the design process. Hence, desirable features such as appearance, port-ability, ease of use and...

Intracranial pressure changes during mouse development (2015)
Journal Article
Moazen, M., Alazmani, A., Rafferty, K., Liu, Z.-J., Gustafson, J., Cunningham, M. L., Fagan, M. J., & Herring, S. W. (2016). Intracranial pressure changes during mouse development. Journal of biomechanics, 49(1), 123-126. https://doi.org/10.1016/j.jbiomech.2015.11.012

During early stages of postnatal development, pressure from the growing brain as well as cerebrospinal fluid, i.e. intracranial pressure (ICP), load the calvarial bones. It is likely that such loading contributes to the peripheral bone formation at t... Read More about Intracranial pressure changes during mouse development.

Validity and sensitivity of a human cranial finite element model: Implications for comparative studies of biting performance (2015)
Journal Article
Toro-Ibacache, V., Fitton, L. C., Fagan, M. J., & O'Higgins, P. (2016). Validity and sensitivity of a human cranial finite element model: Implications for comparative studies of biting performance. Journal of anatomy, 228(1), 70-84. https://doi.org/10.1111/joa.12384

Finite element analysis (FEA) is a modelling technique increasingly used in anatomical studies investigating skeletal form and function. In the case of the cranium this approach has been applied to both living and fossil taxa to (for example) investi...

A virtual approach to evaluate therapies for management of multiple myeloma induced bone disease: Modelling Therapies for Multiple Myeloma Induced Bone Disease (2015)
Journal Article
Ji, B., Genever, P. G., & Fagan, M. J. (2016). A virtual approach to evaluate therapies for management of multiple myeloma induced bone disease: Modelling Therapies for Multiple Myeloma Induced Bone Disease. International journal for numerical methods in biomedical engineering, 32(3), e02735. https://doi.org/10.1002/cnm.2735

Multiple myeloma bone disease is devastating for patients and a major cause of morbidity. The disease leads to bone destruction by inhibiting osteoblast activity while stimulating osteoclast activity. Recent advances in multiple myeloma research have...

Mechanical properties of calvarial bones in a mouse model for craniosynostosis (2015)
Journal Article
Moazen, M., Peskett, E., Babbs, C., Pauws, E., & Fagan, M. J. (2015). Mechanical properties of calvarial bones in a mouse model for craniosynostosis. PLoS ONE, 10(5), e0125757. https://doi.org/10.1371/journal.pone.0125757

The mammalian cranial vault largely consists of five flat bones that are joined together along their edges by soft fibrous tissues called sutures. Premature closure of the cranial sutures, craniosynostosis, can lead to serious clinical pathology unle...

Foam pads properties and their effects on posturography in participants of different weight (2015)
Journal Article
Fagan, M., & Gosselin, G. (2015). Foam pads properties and their effects on posturography in participants of different weight. Chiropractic & manual therapies, 23(2), Article ARTN 2. https://doi.org/10.1186/s12998-014-0045-4

Background: Foam pads are increasingly used on force platforms during balance assessments in order to produce increased instability thereby permitting the measurement of enhanced posturographic parameters. A variety of foam pads providing different m... Read More about Foam pads properties and their effects on posturography in participants of different weight.
