Using Brain Activation to Evaluate Arrangements Aiding Hand–Eye Coordination in Surgical Robot Systems

Conclusion: There are two common arrangements of the monitor and master at the brain activation's peak: One is placing the monitor behind the master, so the user feels that the system is an extension of his arms into the monitor; the other arranges the monitor in front of the master, so the user feels the correspondence between his own arm and the virtual arm in the monitor. Significance: From these results, we conclude that the arrangement between the monitor and master impacts embodiment, enabling the participant to feel apparent posture matches in master–slave surgical robot systems.
