In the field of neurosurgery, they allow medical students to practice complex operations before using a scalpel on a real patient. When combined with artificial intelligence, these tutoring systems can offer tailored feedback like a human instructor, identifying areas where the students need to improve and making suggestions on how to achieve expert performance.</p> Thu, 14 Sep 2023 15:36:17 +0000 gallage.peiris@mail.mcgill.ca 5799 at /neuro /neuro/channels/news/artificial-intelligence-tutoring-outperforms-expert-instructors-neurosurgical-training-337816 <h2>Machine learning algorithms enhanced technical performance and learning outcomes during simulated brain tumor removal</h2> <p>The COVID-19 pandemic has presented both challenges and opportunities for medical training. Remote learning technology has become increasingly important in several fields. A new study finds that in a remote environment, an artificial intelligence (AI) tutoring system can outperform expert human instructors.</p> Fri, 18 Feb 2022 18:24:18 +0000 shawn.hayward@mcgill.ca 5357 at /neuro /neuro/article/virtual-simulator-future-surgical-training <p>Technology being developed at The Neuro aims to revolutionize how brain surgery is taught around the world.</p> <p>Simulators are used to train pilots and maintain their skills. “There is no way in the next few years that medical students going into neurosurgery will operate on humans without first being trained on simulators,” says Dr. Del Maestro.</p> Thu, 08 Dec 2022 19:47:05 +0000 Anita Kar 5678 at /neuro /neuro/article/research/teaching-neurosurgery-ai Algorithms can detect performance errors and suggest ways to improve Mon, 12 Aug 2019 14:03:17 +0000 Shawn Hayward 3915 at /neuro /neuro/channels/news/surgery-simulators-are-key-assessment-trainees-299057 <p><strong>AI and virtual reality can determine neurosurgeon expertise with 90% accuracy</strong></p> <p>Machine learning-guided virtual reality simulators can help neurosurgeons develop the skills they need before they step in the operating room, according to a new study.</p> Fri, 02 Aug 2019 15:00:00 +0000 martin.maynard@mail.mcgill.ca 3908 at /neuro /neuro/article/research/surgical-simulation-future AI-assisted training will make surgery safer Thu, 16 May 2019 17:57:47 +0000 Victor Swoboda 3828 at /neuro /neuro/rolando-fausto-del-maestro-md-phd Fri, 23 Oct 2020 09:50:41 +0000 iain.cook@mcgill.ca 3518 at /neuro /neuro/article/robert-dintino "I stopped the car and pulled over, looked in the rear view mirror and the left side of my face was drooping. Not knowing what was going on, I attempted to get out of the car and I couldn't open the door with my left arm, so I used my right arm and hand to open the car door."
