A refined surgical approach for AMI array implantation. A: Modified lateral suboccipital approach (left side of the head in this image) with the craniotomy extended to the midline. The tentorium is located immediately above the skull opening. The cerebellum is retracted downwards to expose the midbrain. The IC and SC are clearly visible through this exposure. B: The midline and caudal edge of the IC (at the exit point of the trochlea nerve; not shown) can also be identified through this exposure. C: Measurements can be made along the IC surface relative to the different anatomical landmarks to identify the location for inserting the AMI array. Further details on the surgical approach and AMI implantation are provided in Section 4.4.
