The Virtual Brain Project--development of a neurosurgical simulator.
As a joined project between Aalborg University and Aalborg Hospital Denmark, a neuro-surgical simulator is being developed. In this paper the objective of the project is outlined and an overview of the research activities within the project is given. Focus is on 3D modelling of the brain, deformable models and the development of two demonstrators, including one for training of punctuation of ventricle using visual and haptic feedback.
