a few months later, surgeon thomas santarius is removing it while ben is still awake. 0k, take a breaknce you take something out that you shouldn't take in the brain, there's very little room to correct it. but it‘s not the awake part that makes this operation special. we'll start now. a1, b2, c3. yaara erez isn‘t a doctor, she‘s a neuroscientist. f6... this test is hard enough when you‘re not in the middle of surgery. you try doing it. h8, i9... by forcing ben‘s brain to multitask, scientists are creating a much more detailed map of its functions for a new device that will eventually help surgeons decide what to take out and what to leave behind. first, we need to calibrate the brain. and here‘s a prototype of the new device. it‘s a model brain today, but eventually thomas will use it during operations. like a sat nav, it can tell him what each part does in that patient because everyone‘s brain is slightly different. you see, that's interesting. and if i go here... in 5—10 years, it could help neurosurgeons tailor their surgery to each patient. so the future basically is sitting a pat
