@drdavidabbasi: Some surgeons ask their patients to play an instrument while their brain is literally open on the table 😳 This is not a gimmick. It is one of the most precise mapping techniques in all of neurosurgery. By having a patient play piano, guitar, or even sing during an awake craniotomy, surgeons can identify in real time exactly which areas of the brain control movement, timing, and coordination. The moment the music falters, slows, or stops, the surgeon knows immediately that the area being stimulated is critical and cannot be touched. That split second of feedback is the difference between removing a tumor successfully and permanently taking away someone's ability to move or create. The brain cannot feel pain, which is what makes awake surgery possible, but it can absolutely reveal itself through what the patient does with their hands and their voice in real time.
