First seen Jun 25, 2026 · Last updated Jun 27, 2026 · Updated 1 time

Summary

This study tests different ways to stimulate the brain during surgery to monitor motor function while minimizing patient movement. Researchers will use accelerometers and microscope video to measure movement. The goal is to make brain surgery safer by protecting areas that control movement.
