Abstract
A method for simulating a deep-brain stimulation in a computer-assisted platform that includes providing to a neurosurgeon, through a man-machine interface, visual information of a pre-operative situation, including a representation of a brain. The method also includes monitoring inputs of said neurosurgeon on the man-machine interface, until a trajectory is determined between an entry point and a target for the placement of an electrode. The method further includes comparing said trajectory to a set of previously-established trajectories for the pre-operative situation, so as to determine an overall measurement representative of a quality of the trajectory compared to the previously-established trajectories.
