Can you use a surgeon’s brain activity in the form of EEG to classify robot-assisted surgical (RAS) gestures? In this study, we used machine learning algorithms and data collected from five different RAS surgeons to determine if this is possible.
Surgical gestures detection can provide targeted, automated surgical skill assessment and feedback during surgical training for robot-assisted surgery (RAS). Several sources including surgical videos, robot tool kinematics, and an electromyogram (EMG) have been proposed to reach this goal. We aimed....
