background

● Special trainings and education are needed for laparoscopic surgery
● Current training for laparoscopy focuses only on the enhancement of manual skill and does not give advice on improving trainees’ posture
● The workload of laparoscopic training is high, we present a method, named subliminal persuasion that gives the trainee real time feedback to correct posture and help in reducing fatigue and improving performances without adding extra workload

summary

● Experimental setup and materials(fig.1)
● Different types of feedback(fig.2)
● The different between first trial and last trial(fig.3)
● Workload of each group during laparoscopic training(fig.4)

predominance

● During laparoscopic train, not only the surgical performance could improve, but also the posture could be corrected
● Subliminal persuasion system doesn’t give trainee much extra workload

application/development

● Surgical training
