Design outcomes
Primary
| Measure | Time frame |
|---|---|
| The primary objective is to investigate the effect of participant-preferred music on laparoscopic task performance as defined by time to task completion. | — |
Secondary
| Measure | Time frame |
|---|---|
| Secondary Objectives are to assess the he effect of participant-preferred music on: - Laparoscopic path length (m) - Jerk (m/s^3) - Economy of motion (path length/time to task completion) - Error score - Subjective mental workload (SURG-TLX) - Objective mental workload (HRV) | — |
