I was not awake for the procedure. I seem to recall them saying that the operation was no longer done that way (with feedback from an awake patient). I guess they now rely on precise geometric imaging with extensive MRIs and CT scans fro reference. About 6-8 months in when things weren't improving enough they did another CT scan to verify positioning, which they confirmed was where they thought it should be. Amazingly, I was on my way home from the hospital 2 days after the operation.
