Before revision:  Specifically , it is not fully understood which brain processes during simulation-based training will translate to better skill acquisition through practice. As cognitive load decreases with better performance, we used a novel method for brain assessment that enables an extraction of a cognitive load neurological biomarker . 38 participants were assigned into 3 experiments examining their behavioral performance undergoing a task with the Simbionix LAP MENTO simulator, while their brain activity was measured using a single-electrode EEG by Aurora by Neurosteer . Each task was repeated 3 times with difference session setups.
After revision:  Specifically , it is however important to measure participants cognitive load to decide whether they are ready to go into a real surgery. In the present study we measured performance on a surgery simulator of medical students and interns, while their brain activity was monitored by a mobile EEG device . 38 participants were assigned into 3 experiments examining their behavioral performance undergoing a task with the Simbionix LAP MENTO simulator, while their brain activity was measured using a single-electrode EEG by Aurora by Neurosteer . Each task was repeated 3 times with difference session setups.
