2013 Summer Project Week:PerkTutorExtension

• 

  Projects List

• 

  Scatter plot of the original FA data through the genu of the corpus callosum of a normal brain.

• 

  Regression of FA data; solid line represents the mean and dotted lines the standard deviation.

Objective

Perk Tutor is an extension that is used for recording trajectories of tracked tools, and use the trajectory to give feedback for learning interventions, and to evaluate the trainee's performance.

Approach, Plan

Transform Recorder module records the trajectories, Workflow Segmentation analyses them, and Perk Evaluator computes motion metrics of trajectories.

Our plan for the project week is to create a MRML representation of the trajectories shared between all modules that use them.
