Current systems for filming open surgery utilize a variety of methods such as head mounted cameras, surgical light mounted cameras, and portable filming setups. At TVASurg we seek to utilize whatever methods will give us the best result for the given assignment, and different types of procedures call for different methodologies.

Whenever you discuss filming surgery with someone, frequently the first idea that comes up is head mounted cameras, such as a GoPro. Head-mounted cameras allow the surgeon to capture their own point of view, and for tight spaces and small surgical exposures, this can sometimes be the only way to get footage of the operative field. Unfortunately, head-mounted cameras frequently produce shaky and thus nauseating footage. Even if you do take the time-consuming approach of motion-tracking the footage to correct for the camera shake, you will still have motion blur as a result, and this makes the footage less than optimal. So, while head-mounted cameras can contribute unique shots to a final video, they are almost never the sole solution to OR filming.

One method of removing camera shake while maintaining flexibility in camera position is by using camera stabilizers such as gimbals, or gimbal camera systems like DJI Osmo cameras. Gimbals allow you to move a camera in smooth continuous motions without unpleasant and distracting, jittery movements. The Osmo Pro camera we sometimes use is controlled with a smartphone through an app. These unique cameras offer an increased range of flexibility, are the best option for capturing transitions from one operative location to another, and the newest models offer high quality 4K formats.

Sometimes it’s not the camera itself but augmentation that makes all the difference. A unique tool utilized in photography and videography is the monopod, which is a single long pole a camera unit can be fixed to. A monopod can allow for a videographer to capture difficult angles, but requires a person to hold it at

Can gamers revolutionize neuroscience? 
Amy Robinson Sterling

We’ve learned more about the brain in the past 10 years then in all of human history. Today’s technology allows us to look closer, faster, affording researchers an unprecedented view of the organ that makes us human. Yet there’s a catch-22 in big data analysis. Neuroscientists are struggling to derive insight from today’s ever-growing catalog of neural datasets. That’s where Eyewire comes in. We’ve paired analysis with deep learning, turning neuroscience image analysis into a 3D puzzle game played by hundreds of thousands of people around the world. To truly engage the world, we must do more than make discoveries. We must share them. That’s why we’ve been paving the way for a new era of neuroscience in which design guides the growth of discoveries beyond lab walls. Working in mediums ranging from images and animations to interactive web and virtual reality, Sterling will touch on an exciting and fast-growing realm: the integration of design and medical illustration community: how can we convert discoveries made behind lab doors into beautiful experiences that showcase the beauty and wonder of the brain?

Amy Robinson is the Executive Director of EyeWire, a game to map the brain that began at MIT. EyeWire crowdsources neuroscience, challenging hundreds of thousands of players around the world to solve 3D puzzles, which actually map out neurons. This allows neuroscientists to chart synaptic connections and model circuitry. Robinson has advised The White House OSTP and the US Senate on crowdsourcing and open innovation. Under her leaders

Asian African and Middle Eastern Religions

Anya Fredsell is a doctoral student in Asian, African, and Middle Eastern Religions, Her academic interests include South Asian religions, Tamil language and culture, gender and sexuality studies, and ethnography of religion. Her research relies on ethnographic methodologies to examine relationships among families, land, and deities in contemporary Tamil Nadu, India. Anya received her BA in Religious Studies from Elon University and MTS in Global Religions from Emory's Candler School of Theology. Prior to graduate studies she completed a Fulbright-Nehru Student Research Fellowship in Chennai, India.

Brittany Landorfis a doctoral candidate in Asian, African, and Middle Eastern Religions. Her dissertation, titled, “The Ethics of Deviance and the Making of Orthodoxy: Gender, Sexuality, and Divine Madness in North African Islamic Mysticism,” traces the figuration of the “mad” mystic known as the majdhūb. Interweaving textual analysis of North African Sufi hagiographic compendiums and treatises composed in the sixteenth-nineteenth centuries with ethnographic fieldwork, she argues that the majdhub’s ambiguous embodiment of deviance marks the continual production of orthodoxy amidst changing understandings of Islam, shifting political power, and reforms to the role of the saint in society. As part of her dissertation, she has translated the hagiographies of fifty female saints buried in Fez, Morocco and mapped their burial locations in a digital story map that is forthcoming as Visiting the Female Saints of Fez. Her writing has appeared in The Journal of Islamic Ethics, The Journal of Body and Relig
