Testing a force detection system for brain surgery practice
This study tests a new system that measures how much force you apply while practicing on a calf brain model, which simulates real brain tissue. It aims to help improve surgical training for future neurosurgeons.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- You are a medical student, neurosurgical resident, fellow, or staff neurosurgeon.
- You are from one of the four Quebec institutions involved in the study.
- You have not previously trained on the NeuroVR simulator or the calf brain model in another study.
