Abstract
OBJECTIVE: The intracranial pressure (ICP) affects the dynamics of cerebrospinal fluid (CSF) and its waveform contains information that is of clinical importance in medical conditions such as hydrocephalus. Active manipulation of the ICP waveform could enable the investigation of pathophysiological processes altering CSF dynamics and driving hydrocephalus.
