Electromechanically induced membrane restructuring enables learning and memory.

Proceedings of the National Academy of Sciences of the United States of America
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...

Analysis of disruptive action of electrical current on cell membrane integrity and modelling its antimicrobial activity.

Archives of microbiology
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 characterization of cortical-thalamic dynamics evoked by cortical stimulation in mice.

Journal of neural engineering
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 ...

A multifaceted hybrid ES-robotic device for gait training in individuals with neurological disorders.

Nature communications
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...

Cyborg insect factory: automatic assembly for insect-computer hybrid robot via vision-guided robotic arm manipulation of custom bipolar electrodes.

Nature communications
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...

Machine learning identification of tinnitus-related features in auditory peripheral spontaneous activity in a guinea pig noise-induced tinnitus model.

Hearing research
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...

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 ...

Wireless motion control of a swimming eel-machine hybrid robot.

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...
