Toward Precision Epilepsy Surgery
Speaker: Dr. Yosuke Sato
Professor and Director, Institute for Brain Function and Digital Medicine, Showa University, and Professor, Department of Neurosurgery, Showa University
Dr. Sato is a neurosurgeon who has conducted extensive research on epilepsy over many years. Recently, he has been collaborating with NVIDIA to develop an advanced stereoscopic monitoring system, which is now being implemented in operating rooms both in Japan and internationally.
Lecturer Profile
Dr. Yosuke Sato graduated from Niigata University School of Medicine in 2006 and joined the Department of Neurosurgery at Niigata University after completing his initial residency. He earned his M.D. in 2012. Dr. Sato then served as a Postdoctoral Research Fellow at The Hospital for Sick Children, Toronto, in 2013, and as a Clinical Fellow in Neurosurgery at the Hanover International Neuroscience Institute in 2015. From 2017, he worked in the Department of Neurosurgery at Showa University. Since November 2024, he has been Professor and Director of the Institute for Brain Function and Digital Medicine, Showa University, as well as Professor in the Department of Neurosurgery, Showa University.

Lecture Overview
Recent advances in digital medical technology have enhanced the information available on brain lesions and neurofunctional anatomy, demanding greater precision in neurosurgical procedures, particularly epilepsy surgery. Dr. Sato has developed a method for analyzing gamma wave regularity using EEG data, enabling visualization of epileptic foci and language areas, which has improved both the safety and accuracy of surgery. Furthermore, he has created a system that leverages AI to generate real-time stereoscopic visualization from monocular video without the need for special glasses. This technology enhances spatial understanding of fine structures, improving surgical precision and educational outcomes. These innovations highlight new possibilities for Precision Epilepsy Surgery.
