aCleanBrain
The Brain Fluids - Transport and Clearance project, also known as "aCleanBrain" project, aims to unravel enigmatic processes underlying sleep and brain diseases through computational modeling.
The aCleanBrain project aims to pioneer research into brain fluid dynamics, targeting three objectives: exploring new fluid dynamics mechanisms, advancing numerical analysis for multi-physics brain simulations, and creating a framework for patient-specific simulations. Using applied mathematics techniques (reduced order modeling, machine learning, and finite element methods), the project aims to establish the main drivers of brain fluid dynamics, develop robust algorithms, and create a software framework for biomechanical brain simulations. Its successful completion will provide an improved understanding of brain fluids in health and disease, advance the numerical analysis for multi-physics algorithms, and ambitiously enable image-based, patient-specific simulations.
