Cutting-Edge Brain Imaging Method Accurately Evaluates Surgeon Skill Levels (2 of 3)

image: Optode positions for coverage over the PFC, M1, and SMA. Red dots indicate infrared sources, blue dots indicate long separation detectors, and textured blue dots indicate short separation detectors. The PFC has three sources (1 to 3), three short separation detectors (S1 to S3), and four long separation detectors (1 to 4). The M1 has 4 sources (4 to 7), 4 short separation detectors (S4 to S7), and 10 long detectors (5 to 14). The SMA has one source (8), one short separation detector (S8), and three long separation detectors (9, 15, and 16). 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
