Denoising instrumented mouthguard measurements of head impact kinematics with a convolutional neural network

Xianghao Zhan, Yuzhe Liu, Nicholas J. Cecchi +6

Wearable sensors for measuring head kinematics can be noisy due to imperfect interfaces with the body. Mouthguards are used to measure head kinematics during impacts in traumatic b…
