Practice. Repetitions. Same with anything else. There's a million ways of people saying the same thing and selling books saying it, but do you call it 10,000 hours? Do you call it spend some chunk of your life, some percentage of your life focusing on this, obsessing about getting better at it? Repetitions...

humility, recognizing that you aren't perfect at any stage along the way, recognizing you've got improvements to make in your technique, being open to feedback and coaching from people with a different perspective on how to do it, and then just the constant will to do better. that fortunately, if you're not a sociopath, I think your patients bring that with them to the office visits every day.

Yeah, a fair bit. I mean, a good example for us is the angle of the skull relative to the normal plane of the body axis. of the skull over hand knob is pretty wide variation. I mean, some people have really flat skulls and some people have really steeply angled skulls over that area.

And that has consequences for how their head can be fixed in sort of the frame that we use and how the robot has to approach the skull. Yeah, people's bodies are built as differently as the people you see walking down the street, as much variability in body shape and size as you see there. We see in brain anatomy and skull anatomy.

There are some people who we've had to kind of exclude from our trial for having skulls that are too thick or too thin or scalp that's too thick or too thin. I think we have the middle 97% or so of people, but you can't account for all human anatomy variability.
