It’s common for brain surgery patients to stay awake. That’s how surgeons know everything is going smoothly, after all.

The surgical crew gave Frisch a bow equipped with a motion-tracking sensor and asked him to fiddle during the operation; the team knew it had electrodes in the right spot when the musician’s performance was steady.
