OBJECTIVE: In the last decades, many EMG-controlled robotic devices were developed. Since stiffness control may be required to perform skillful interactions, different groups developed devices whose stiffness is real-time controlled based on EMG sign...
Deep Learning (DL), a successful promising approach for discriminative and generative tasks, has recently proved its high potential in 2D medical imaging analysis; however, physiological data in the form of 1D signals have yet to be beneficially expl...

The objective is to test automated estimation of active and passive skeletal muscle states using ultrasonic imaging. Current technology (electromyography, dynamometry, shear wave imaging) provides no general, non-invasive method for online estimatio...
By training the deep neural network model, the hidden features in Surface Electromyography(sEMG) signals can be extracted. The motion intention of the human can be predicted by analysis of sEMG. However, the models recently proposed by researchers of...
OBJECTIVE: Currently, manual scoring is the gold standard of leg movement scoring (LMs) and periodic LMs (PLMS) in overnight polysomnography (PSG) studies, which is subject to inter-scorer variability. The objective of this study is to design and val...

In this article, we presented an optimal Electrical Impedance Tomography (EIT) drive pattern based on feature selection and model explanation, and proposed a portable EIT system for applications in human-computer interaction for gesture recognition a...
One of the modern trends in the design of human-machine interfaces (HMI) is to involve the so called spiking neuron networks (SNNs) in signal processing. The SNNs can be trained by simple and efficient biologically inspired algorithms. In particular,...

BACKGROUND: Most types of robot-assisted training (RT) have been used in Cerebral Palsy (CP) patients only focus on proximal upper extremity. Few of study investigated the effect of distal upper extremity training.
Research in physiology and sports science has shown that fatigue, a complex psychophysiological phenomenon, has a relevant impact in performance and in the correct functioning of our motricity system, potentially being a cause of damage to the human ...
