Human neural networks of interconnected neurons have evolved to be remarkably efficient and are capable of learning and memory through the brain's synaptic plasticity, including short-term plasticity (STP), and long-term potentiation (LTP) and depres...
It is essential to eliminate harmful microbes from vital aspects of our lives, including dental instruments and other healthcare devices, cosmetics, foods, and products that come into contact with them. Electrical stimulation (ES) has been proposed t...
Statistical models are powerful tools for describing biological phenomena such as neuronal spiking activity. Although these models have been widely used to study spontaneous and stimulated neuronal activity, they have not yet been applied to analyze ...
The integration of robotics and Electrical Stimulation (ES) in neurorehabilitation leverages robotics' precise task execution alongside ES-induced motor learning, muscle conditioning, and cardiovascular benefits. We propose a hybrid system for overgr...
Insect-computer hybrid robots offer strong potential for navigating complex terrains. This study identified the intersegmental membrane between the pronotum and mesothorax of the Madagascar hissing cockroach as an effective site for electrical stimul...
OBJECTIVES: Tinnitus affects millions globally, yet its clinical assessment relies on subjective reports, limiting diagnostic accuracy and treatment development. This study aimed to identify objective, tinnitus-related features within ensemble sponta...
Soft and flexible robotics is an emerging field that attracts a huge interest due to its ability to produce bioinspired devices that are easily adaptable to the environment. Biohybrid Machines (BHM) represent a category of soft robots that integrate ...
The human thalamus projects nerve fibers to all cortical regions and propagates epileptic activity. However, opportunities to directly record thalamic and cortical neural activities simultaneously are extremely limited and their electrophysiological ...
This study presents a flexible aquatic swimming robot, which is a promising candidate for underwater search and detection missions. The robot is a living eel fitted with a wireless electronic backpack stimulator attached to its dorsal region. Leverag...
