The research question

Can your surgical team maintain the level of attention and performance a complex operation demands from beginning to end?

Surgical Performance Assessment focuses on the doctors whose performance is critical during complex operations, measuring sustained attention, situational awareness, visual strategy, cognitive load and performance stability across the procedure.

ParticipantsSurgeons, anesthesiologists, assisting physicians and other medical professionals whose performance is critical during the operation.
Minimum sampleN = 1
DurationThe complete operation or the selected surgical phase being studied.

Technology configuration

Measurement follows the task.

The technology path shown here is the approved structure for this service. The exact protocol is configured around the research question, environment and participant flow.

01 · BasicEye Tracking Glasses

Real surgical procedure or selected surgical phase.

02 · AdvancedEye Tracking VR + EEG

Simulation / immersive assessment.

Typical protocol · Professional Performance

How this study is executed.

The protocol below reflects the service definition developed for Neuro Garage. Final details are confirmed before execution.

01

Define the complex procedure or critical surgical phase and its information / decision demands.

02

Observe the relevant medical professionals in the real operating room or execute an approved simulation / VR protocol.

03

Capture sustained attention, visual sequence, critical-information detection, decision timing and workload throughout the task.

04

Identify attention losses, high-load moments, omissions, procedural bottlenecks and performance deterioration over time.

05

Translate the evidence into credentialing, training, protocol and operating-room design decisions.

Typical outputs

Scientific configuration

The method follows the question.

Technology is selected because it is scientifically appropriate for the research objective, not because a device must be used. Santiago configures the study scope, stimuli, participant flow and measurement path before execution.
