Cutting-Edge Brain Imaging Method Accurately Evaluates Surgeon Skill Levels (3 of 3)

image: Brain region labels are shown for PFC, M1, and SMA regions. Average functional activation for all subjects in the Novice and Expert surgeon groups are shown as spatial maps while subjects perform the FLS task. This material relates to a paper that appeared in the Oct. 3rd, 2018, issue of Science Advances, published by AAAS. The paper, by A. Nemani at Rensselaer Polytechnic Institute in Troy, NY, and colleagues was titled, "Assessing bimanual motor skills with optical neuroimaging." view more
