Abstract

The focus of the project was to evaluate effects of new types of weapons, such as High Power Microwaves (HPM) and other non-lethal weapons (NLW). In addition, new models for simulating military relevant neurotrauma have been developed. These models were used to investigate the possible use of biomarkers and EEG as diagnostic tools. The work on HPM and NLW has been conducted partly in international networks.
