Drill Skull With Cranial Drilling Device Without Damaging Brain

A little common sense will tell you that drilling skull requires far more precision and skill than drilling holes in the wall. Harvard research team has addressed a major shortcoming of the traditional drilling devices used to penetrate the skull. These devices require very high precision while drilling the brain because even a small damage to the brain could be fatal. Such type of drilling requires neurosurgical training to know when to 'stop' and how deep to go.
