ML for how to direct implantation, or the signals it produced?
1 comments

I was working on a guiding fiber optic cable, so the signals were live during implantation. The fiber is then pulled out once the electrodes are in the correct position.

We used ML to help determine where the tip of the electrodes were in the brain. The received images needed a lot of processing (Fourier domain mostly), then ML against cadaver brains and other surgeries to help determine the position. Final say included a lot of test shocks to the patient and the surgeon's call.
