Automated Assessment of Surgical Skill: Leveraging Kinematic Data for Objective Expertise Inference

This project explores whether surgical expertise can be measured from the way instruments move during a realistic neurosurgical simulation. The goal is to develop machine learning models that learn motion patterns from recorded instrument movements and use them to classify different levels of surgical skill. The dataset includes recordings from participants performing a surgical simulation on calf brain tissue, providing realistic and controlled conditions for analysis. The project will help develop new data-driven tools for surgical training and assessment, benefiting participating institutions by advancing research in artificial intelligence, medical simulation, and surgical education.
