  • Publication number: 20230233176
    Abstract: Example implementations can include a method of calibrating orientation of a cerebral sensor and generating feedback from an injector for a cerebral sensor, by scanning an anatomical structure, by a cerebral sensor, proximate to the scan position and satisfying a first threshold, obtaining at least one cranial signal from the cerebral sensor in accordance with a first pathway over the anatomical structure, obtaining from the cranial signal a point corresponding to the anatomical structure, storing the obtained point to a point cache operable to store one or more points, in response to a determination that the point satisfies a second threshold, modifying the first pathway for actuating the cerebral sensor, in response to the determination that the obtained point satisfies the second threshold, selecting an optimized point from the point stack, and actuating the cerebral sensor continuously based on the optimized point.
