Heterogeneity in definitions of surgical site infection after cranial surgery limits the validity of research findings in neurosurgery: a systematic review by Majidi, N, Sivakumar, A, Vogt, A, Ranganathan, S, Ashkan, K, Price, SJ, Lee, KS

“…Twenty-six different indicators for SSI-CRAN were used, with a median of nine (range: one to 16) utilised per study. Only 21 (4.0%) studies considered the varying definitions of SSI-CRAN in their conclusions, indicating that a lack of consistent definitions across studies impacted the ability to draw clear conclusions. …”

Unraveling the Dynamics of Mental and Visuospatial Workload in Virtual Reality Environments by Bernal, Guillermo, Jung, Hahrin, Yassı, İsmail Emir, Hidalgo, Nelson, Alemu, Yodahe, Barnes-Diana, Tyler, Maes, Pattie

“…Our findings indicate a broadband increase in EEG power just prior to a helper event, followed by a spike of visuospatial engagement (parietal alpha and beta 0-1-3 s) occurring concurrently with a decrease in mental workload (frontal theta 2–4 s), and subsequent decreases in visuospatial engagement (parietal theta at 14 s) and physiological arousal (HRV at 20 s). …”
