How the PZT Actuator Can Improve Sensation for Surgeons During Minimally Invasive Surgeries (IMAGE)
Caption
The vibration device created by Hiroshima University researchers works due to the stochastic resonance effect, a mathematical principle that describes how a constant and regular signal can boost the strength of another irregular signal. The PZT Actuator can be slipped onto any surgical tool and vibrate against the surgeon's palm, improving the ability to sense the details of a patient's internal tissues and organs.
