Summary
This study looks at whether listening to classical music through headphones can improve how well medical students perform tasks on a da Vinci robotic surgery simulator. Thirty students will do the same exercises with and without music, and their scores will be compared. The goal is to understand how music affects focus and performance in a risk-free training setting.

What this could lead to
If it works, this could point toward simple ways to improve surgical training or the operating room environment.
What could go wrong
