What this Trial Is About
This project aims to optimize the methodology to elicite transcranial motor evoked potentials in intraoperative neurophysiological monitoring of brain surgery. It includes accelerometer measurements and microscope video image to determine movement of the surgical field, making possible minimization of movement during brain stimulation.
