The material guides the cutting tool along its inner boundaries and structure. Take a stonemason as they are splitting a rock: the internal tensions of the rock do most of the work once the craftsperson has started the cut. Similarly, surgeons and paleontologists, using data from scans and models, follow the lines set by the active material as they make their path within brains or fossils. We understand cutting as healing and shaping rather than not extractively and destructively careful separation and reunification. Such an approach to »material-guided cutting« requires novel interactions, concepts and tools that connect the skilled operator with the activity of the material as a partner in the process.
We are working on different cases of the material-guided cut: in the axis »From Brain Matter to Function«, we investigate several innovative ways of navigating brain surgery, in particular using biologically inspired neural networks models; in the axis »Hybrid Interactions«, we are contributing to the future of robotic-assisted surgery automation, digital fossil preparation, and experimental surgical tools based microscopy techniques. Together, we explore interdisciplinarily different dimensions of the ›cut‹ in the digital age, integrating predictive models, tools and visualizations in surgery, paleontology and beyond.
From Matter to Function
We are an interdisciplinary working group of neurosurgeons, computer scientists, neurolinguists, designers, and researchers in humanities, all working together to develop new modes of probing, visualizing, and modeling the structures, boundaries of neural matter underpinning cognitive functions. The goal is to enrich current brain data usage with new tools that help practitioners explore neuropsychological and neurolinguistic abilities of their patients, and represent cerebral matter and its activity in different ways, as well as design tools to predict neuroplastic changes following the intervention, based on the most advanced biological neurocomputational models and neurosurgical practices. Our activities are currently distributed across four projects: Adaptive Digital Twin; Material Basis of Symbols; Brain Roads and Speculative Realities Lab.




Hybrid Interactions
Throughout the history of natural sciences, artists, scientists and engineers have been working conjointly to produce images, conferring visual presence to fleeting observations, providing them with means to travel across space and time. Images stemming from dissections as they emerge from matter through the craft of researchers. As such, the production of scientific images is not only a channel for representing and circulating definite knowledge but also a means of imagining and thinking with materials. Hybriding digital tools with analog perceptions, we open up playgrounds between life sciences, physics, computer sciences, anthropology and design research. Our research lines are streaming across four distinct projects: Virtual Dissection, Sensing Knife, Robotic Assisted Surgery (w/ Filtering), and the stretching senses school (w/ Objet Space Agency).

Connectome construction of a patient with a tumor in the speech-eloquent area of the brain.
The connection strengths of the white matter are shown as edges with a heat map (dark = weak connection, light = strong connection). The cortical areas of the brain and their size are illustrated as nodes in the form of spheres. Additionally, three orange TMS points are shown (TMS = Transcranial Magnetic Stimulation). In this case, the patient’s speech network could be non-invasively disturbed in these areas and mapped accordingly.
The visualization of the white matter is based on tractography. The different directions of the white matter can be measured and displayed by means of diffusion-weighted magnetic resonance imaging. Copyright: Lucius Fekonja & Image Guidance Lab, Charité – Universitätsmedizin Berlin
