A Mathematical Compass for Neuronavigation & Precision Brain Surgery
In this joint presentation, Prof. (TU Eindhoven) and Prof. (ETZ Neurosurgery; TU Eindhoven) explore how mathematical modeling has advanced the field of neurosurgical tractography鈥攁 technique that reconstructs white matter pathways in the brain based on diffusion MRI data.
Through a dialogue format, they reflect on a decade of interdisciplinary collaboration that led to the development of a novel prototype tool. This tool enables automatic computation and visualization of these critical brain connections, supporting safer, personalized brain tumor surgery.
The talk bridges theoretical models from mathematics and physics and real-world clinical applications, emphasizing both the clinical potential of tractography and the value of dialogue between disciplines.
Neuromodulation Strategies for Intractable Migraine: A New Frontier
Daniel Schobben is one of the founders of Salvia BioElectronics (2017) and is passionately committed to restoring hope, health, and happiness for people with chronic migraine and chronic cluster headache. At Salvia, he drives innovation by translating stakeholder needs to pragmatic product concepts.
