4D-Simulator: Breakthrough in Brain Surgery

4D-Simulator: Breakthrough in Brain Surgery

Aneurysm operations in the brain rank among the most delicate procedures in neurosurgery. A new training technology co-developed between Inselspital, Bern University Hospital, and ARTORG Center of the University of Bern, will further improve patient safety during future procedures: a new 4D simulator enables the planning, testing and optimization of the procedure on an exact 4D model, which also emulates the blood, blood vessels and pulse.

Bern “cocktail party” to improve hearing aids and implants

The Hearing Research Lab of the University of Bern and Inselspital has released an open access dataset to support the scientific community in improving technology-assisted hearing. The “Bern Cocktail Party” dataset was published in Nature Scientific Data and features more than 50’000 cocktail party clips. It places users of hearing aids and cochlear implants into the focus of datasets for acoustic cocktail party scenarios for the first time.
