Hyperspectral imaging is an optical technique that enables the acquisition of images with a large number of spectral bands, both narrow and contiguous. It has been implemented in the neurosurgery operating room of the Hospices Civils de Lyon (HCL) for the identification of motor and sensory cortical areas in patients undergoing brain tumor resections. Functional identification relies on monitoring cerebral hemodynamics and metabolism during the execution of motor tasks (e.g., hand movement). This work, carried out in collaboration with the MAGICS team, HCL, and University College London (UCL), was featured on the cover of the IEEE Journal of Selected Topics in Quantum Electronics (JSTQE) in July 2025.
