SURGICAL SIMULATION RESEARCH LAB

​We collaborate with surgeons, computing scientists, and psychologists to develop simulation and simulation-based programs for surgical training... We aim to 1) record the eye hand coordination of novices and experts. Unveiling the gaze strategy and eye-hand coordination of experts to help novices incorporating gaze training into the skills curriculum. 2) use dual eye tracking to study team cooperation in endoscopic therapeutic procedures... Our research aims to shorten the learning curve of surgeons using simulation and strengthen their competence in performing image-guided surgeries.
