Summary:

This invention discloses a device and method for inducing mild brain concussion in test animals. In the embodiments of this invention, Fujifilm Prescale® of Sensor Products Inc., is laminated on the outer and inner wall surface of a helmet covering the test animal’s head. When a projectile impacts the helmet, the pressure of the impact causes the films to change color. The Fujifilm Prescale® provides data such as impact pressure magnitude and distribution. Topaq Pressure Analysis System (Sensor Products, Inc.). is used for the aforementioned analysis.
