Testing and training environment
POLAND
All testing and training sessions were conducted at the ASSERT surgical simulation lab at University College Cork. A laparoscopic skill analyser was used to assess performance on surgical tasks at baseline, post-training and retention sessions (Laparo analytic, Laparo Medical Simulators, Poland). Three box trainers (identical to that used at the laparoscopic analyser station; Laparo Aspire, Laparo Medical Simulators, Poland) were setup in one area of the room for training sessions, while in another area of the room, 2 stations were allocated to the neurostimulation component of the experimental protocol.
