TY  - JOUR
AB  - The  mechanical characterization  of  brain  tissue  is  a  complex  task  scientists  have  tried  to accomplish  for  over  fifty  years. The  resultsin  literatureoften  differ  by  orders  of  magnitudebecause  of  the  lack  of  a  standard  testing  protocol.  Different  testing  conditions  (including humidity,  temperature,  strain  rate),the methodologyadopted,the  variety  of the speciesanalysed,  are  all  potential  sources  of discrepancies in  the  measurements.In  this  work  we present a rigorous experimental investigation on the mechanical properties of human brain, covering  both grey  and white  matter. The  influence  of  testing  conditions isalso  shown  and thoroughly discussed. The  material  characterisation  performed  is finally  adopted  to  provide inputs toa mathematical formulation suitable fornumerical simulations of brain deformation during surgical procedures.
