Design outcomes
Primary
| Measure | Time frame |
|---|---|
| Learning measured using the total number of expert benchmarks achieved on previously validated 14 performance metrics with expert-level benchmarks, on a scale of 1 to 14, across five repetitions of the simulated task, assessed after the completion of each task | — |
Secondary
| Measure | Time frame |
|---|---|
| Performance improvement measured using participant scores, across the five repetitions of the simulated task, on the 14 performance metrics, assessed after the completion of each task: 1. Brain volume removed (cc) 2. Amount of blood loss (cc) 3. Maximum force applied with the dominant hand (Newton) 4. Maximum force applied with a non-dominant hand (Newton) 5. Sum of forces applied with the dominant hand (Newton) 6. Sum of forces applied with a non-dominant hand (Newton) 7. Tumour percentage removed (%) 8. Total tip path length dominant hand (mm) 9. Total tip path length non-dominant hand (mm) 10. Path length index 11. Efficiency index 12. Average instrument tips separation distance (mm) 13. Coordination index 14. Bimanual forces ratio | — |
