Finally, I was able to go see Neuro surgery in the OR. I was impressed by how they located the tumor in the brain. They attached the frame to patient's head. The frame has main axis detector, so if the head moves, the software system can measure how much it moves just like GPS system. The system also interfaced with high resolution MRI image which was taken before hands, and the brain MRI image moves based on the detected head movement. In addition, there is a pen like thing, and the system is also be able to obtain the exact location of tip of the thing. So, when surgeons put the pointer thing on the patient's head, they can locate where exactly they point out.
Regarding my research topic, I started to take Stata online-course with coworkers of Dr. Kamel. It will be once or twice in a week. But, I am a bit worried if I can wrap this "research" project by the end of July. It's just two week away, and we haven't even chosen a specific research topic.
To sum up, NYC is heaven. (but, there is a bit of "tear in heaven")
