Research Assistant

MotionLab, Department of Computer Science, University of Minnesota

• Quantified visual attention by computing a percentage of focus in order to determine if there is a correlation between the visual attention and surgeons' level of experience (Python: NumPy, Matplotlib, Pandas)
• Determined with a confidence of 95% that a surgeon is focused if their pupils' velocity is under 3 pixel/s and acceleration under 500 pixel/s2, using R
• Established that the surgeons' level of visual attention increases with experience
