Cell transplantation is a promising approach for addressing neurodegenerative conditions. In this study, we developed a robot-assisted stereotactic microinjection system for transplanting cells. We evaluated the factors that affect cellular graft via...
Brain-computer interfaces (BCIs) are technologies that bypass damaged or disrupted neural pathways and directly decode brain signals to perform intended actions. BCIs for speech have the potential to restore communication by decoding the intended spe...
OBJECTIVE: The present study aimed to identify various distinguishing features for use in the accurate classification of stereoelectroencephalography (SEEG) channels based on high-frequency oscillations (HFOs) inside and outside the epileptogenic zon...
BACKGROUND: Stereoelectroencephalography (SEEG) is an effective presurgical invasive evaluation for drug-resistant epilepsies. The introduction of robotic devices provides a simplified, accurate, and safe alternative to the conventional SEEG techniqu...
OBJECTIVE: The Neurolocate module is a 3D frameless patient registration module that is designed for use with the Neuromate stereotactic robot. Long-term electrical stimulation of the globus pallidus internus (GPi) and subthalamic nucleus (STN) via d...
BACKGROUND: Learning curve, training, and cost impede widespread implementation of new technology. Neurosurgical robotic technology introduces challenges to visuospatial reasoning and requires the acquisition of new fine motor skills. Studies detaili...

PURPOSE: During the last decade, there has been renewed interest in stereotactic approaches to diffuse intrinsic pontine gliomas (DIPGs) in children, due to the development of new concepts in molecular biology and management, and subsequent need for ...
OBJECTIVE: The stereoelectroencephalography (SEEG) procedure provides a unique 3D overview of the seizure-onset zone. Although the success of SEEG relies on the accuracy of depth electrode implantation, few studies have investigated how different imp...

BACKGROUND AND OBJECTIVES: Robot-assisted stereoelectroencephalography (sEEG) is steadily supplanting traditional frameless and frame-based modalities for minimally invasive depth electrode placement in epilepsy workup. Accuracy rates similar to gold...
OBJECTIVE: Robot-assisted (RA) stereotactic MRI-guided laser ablation has been reported to be a safe and effective technique for the treatment of epileptogenic foci in children and adults. In this study the authors aimed to assess the accuracy of RA ...
