Area of Science:

  • Neuroscience
  • Surgical Education

Background:

  • Functional near-infrared spectroscopy (fNIRS) is a neuroimaging technique for brain activity assessment.
  • Existing open-access fNIRS datasets often involve simple or motion-restricted tasks.
  • Assessing surgical skills is crucial for general surgery board certification.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To introduce the ASTaUND dataset, comprising fNIRS data from mobile subjects performing Fundamentals of Laparoscopic Surgery (FLS) tasks.
  • To provide comprehensive information on hardware, protocols, and subject demographics for the dataset.
  • To support research in neuroimaging for surgical skill assessment in realistic settings.

Main Methods:

  • Acquired fNIRS data from subjects performing FLS tasks in a laboratory setting across four studies.
  • Collected concurrent Fundamentals of Laparoscopic Surgery (FLS) scores for surgical skill assessment.
  • Documented hardware, task execution protocols, and subject demographics.

Main Results:

  • The ASTaUND dataset is now available as an open-access resource.
  • The dataset includes neuroimaging data and quantitative surgical skill metrics.
  • A data processing pipeline example for realistic environments is provided.

Conclusions:

  • The ASTaUND dataset facilitates neuroimaging research on surgical skills in mobile subjects.
  • This resource supports the development of objective surgical skill assessment methods.
  • The dataset serves as a valuable tool for advancing the field of surgical education and neuroimaging.
