Outline of Final Research Achievements

Analyzing and modeling methods of recorded surgery video were developed for decision making system for doctors in "awake brain surgery". Awake brain surgery videos recorded by the group supervised by Prof. Iseki and Prof. Muragaki of Tokyo Women's Medical University, who are the cooperative partners of the study representative, were used. Especially, Cortical mapping processes of the videos were analyzed and their information utilization was performed. As the results, image and acoustic processing techniques were successfully developed for automatic analysis of the doctor's electrical stimulation and patients' reactions.
