Development of an electrical current stimulator for controlling biohybrid machines.

Scientific reports
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 ...

Single pulse electrical stimulation of the medial thalamic surface induces narrower high gamma band activities in the sensorimotor cortex.

Scientific reports
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 ...

Bioinspiration & biomimetics
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...

Digital Biomarker for Muscle Function Assessment Using Surface Electromyography With Electrical Stimulation and a Non-Invasive Wearable Device.

IEEE transactions on neural systems and rehabilitation engineering : a publication of the IEEE Engineering in Medicine and Biology Society
Sarcopenia is a comprehensive degenerative disease with the progressive loss of skeletal muscle mass with age, accompanied by the loss of muscle strength and muscle dysfunction. Individuals with unmanaged sarcopenia may experience adverse outcomes. P...

Proprioception enhancement for robot assisted neural rehabilitation: a dynamic electrical stimulation based method and preliminary results from EEG analysis.

Journal of neural engineering
In recent years, the robot assisted (RA) rehabilitation training has been widely used to counteract defects of the manual one provided by physiotherapists. However, since the proprioception feedback provided by the robotic assistance or the manual me...

Combining robotics and functional electrical stimulation for assist-as-needed support of leg movements in stroke patients: A feasibility study.

Medical engineering & physics
PURPOSE: Rehabilitation technology can be used to provide intensive training in the early phases after stroke. The current study aims to assess the feasibility of combining robotics and functional electrical stimulation (FES), with an assist-as-neede...

NeurostimML: a machine learning model for predicting neurostimulation-induced tissue damage.

Journal of neural engineering
. The safe delivery of electrical current to neural tissue depends on many factors, yet previous methods for predicting tissue damage rely on only a few stimulation parameters. Here, we report the development of a machine learning approach that could...

Impact of functional electrical stimulation on nerve-damaged muscles by quantifying fat infiltration using deep learning.

Scientific reports
Quantitative imaging in life sciences has evolved into a powerful approach combining advanced microscopy acquisition and automated analysis of image data. The focus of the present study is on the imaging-based evaluation of the posterior cricoaryteno...

The Walking Control of a Crab Biorobot in Amphibious Environment.

Soft robotics
This article describes development of a crab biorobot that is capable of traversing diverse environments including both land and water. We have transformed a living rainbow crab into a walking biorobot by attaching wireless controller. An anatomical ...

Multi Degree of Freedom Hybrid FES and Robotic Control of the Upper Limb.

IEEE transactions on neural systems and rehabilitation engineering : a publication of the IEEE Engineering in Medicine and Biology Society
Individuals who have suffered a spinal cord injury often require assistance to complete daily activities, and for individuals with tetraplegia, recovery of upper-limb function is among their top priorities. Hybrid functional electrical stimulation (F...
