This paper presents an AI-enabled system for analyzing visual attention patterns and hand-tool interactions during surgical procedures. Using eye-tracking and computer vision techniques, we capture and analyze how surgeons allocate their attention and coordinate their tool usage. The insights from our analysis can inform surgical training programs and improve procedural safety. [arXiv link TBA]
The application takes 10 minutes and is reviewed on a rolling basis. We look for strong technical signal—projects, coursework, or competition results—and a genuine curiosity to do real research.
If admitted, you will join a structured pipeline with direct mentorship to take your work from ideation to top conference submission at venues like NeurIPS, ACL, and EMNLP.
