The development of an innovative functional assessment procedure based on the combination of electroencephalography (EEG) and robot-assisted upper limb devices may provide new insights into the dynamics of cortical reorganization promoted by rehabili...

UNLABELLED: The dynamical behavior of the cortex is extremely complex, with different areas and even different layers of a cortical column displaying different temporal patterns. A major open question is how the signals from different layers and diff...

Detection and quantification of functional deficits due to moderate traumatic brain injury (mTBI) is crucial for clinical decision-making and timely commencement of functional therapy. In this work, we explore magnetoencephalography (MEG) based funct...
Cognition involves using attended information, maintained in working memory (WM), to guide action. During a cognitive task, a correct response requires flexible, selective gating so that only the appropriate information flows from WM to downstream ef...
The increasing presence of robots in society necessitates a deeper understanding into what attitudes people have toward robots. People may treat robots as mechanistic artifacts or may consider them to be intentional agents. This might result in expla...

In humans, impaired response inhibition is characteristic of a wide range of psychiatric diseases and of normal aging. It is hypothesized that the right inferior frontal cortex (rIFC) plays a key role by inhibiting the motor cortex via the basal gang...
Top-down processing in neocortex underlies functions such as prediction, expectation, and attention. Visual systems have much feedback connection that carries information of behavioral context. Top-down signals along feedback pathways modulate the re...
