Fifty Shades of Brain: A Review on the Mechanical Testing and Modeling of Brain Tissue (2019, background): “Rate-dependence of brain stiffness has consistently been reported in the literature using different testing techniques: shear testing or oscillatory shear testing [151,44,127], uniaxial compression or tension [132,57,137,140,85,83], indentation [163,20,107,136], and magnetic resonance elastography [”
