Finger Vein Recognition Based on Unsupervised Spiking Convolutional Neural Network with Adaptive Firing Threshold.

Sensors (Basel, Switzerland)
Currently, finger vein recognition (FVR) stands as a pioneering biometric technology, with convolutional neural networks (CNNs) and Transformers, among other advanced deep neural networks (DNNs), consistently pushing the boundaries of recognition acc...

Soft robotic hand with tactile palm-finger coordination.

Nature communications
Soft robotic hands with integrated sensing capabilities hold great potential for interactive operations. Previous work has typically focused on integrating sensors with fingers. The palm, as a large and crucial contact region providing mechanical sup...

Unsupervised Neural Decoding to Predict Dexterous Multi-Finger Flexion and Extension Forces.

IEEE journal of biomedical and health informatics
Accurate control over individual fingers of robotic hands is essential for the progression of human-robot interactions. Accurate prediction of finger forces becomes imperative in this context. The state-of-the-art neural decoders can extract neural s...

Finger-aware Artificial Neural Network for predicting arthritis in Patients with hand pain.

Artificial intelligence in medicine
Arthritis is an inflammatory condition associated with joint damage, the incidence of which is increasing worldwide. In severe cases, arthritis can result in the restriction of joint movement, thereby affecting daily activities; as such, early and ac...

Biohybrid hand actuated by multiple human muscle tissues.

Science robotics
Cultured muscle tissue serves as a power source in biohybrid robots that demonstrate diverse motions. However, current designs typically only drive simple substrates on a small scale, limiting flexibility and controllability. To address this, we prop...

Simultaneous Isotropic Omnidirectional Hypersensitive Strain Sensing and Deep Learning-Assisted Direction Recognition in a Biomimetic Stretchable Device.

Advanced materials (Deerfield Beach, Fla.)
Omnidirectional strain sensing and direction recognition ability are features of the human tactile sense, essential to address the intricate and dynamic requirements of real-world applications. Most of the current strain sensors work by converting un...

Surmounting the ceiling effect of motor expertise by novel sensory experience with a hand exoskeleton.

Science robotics
For trained individuals such as athletes and musicians, learning often plateaus after extensive training, known as the "ceiling effect." One bottleneck to overcome it is having no prior physical experience with the skill to be learned. Here, we chall...

An ANN models cortical-subcortical interaction during post-stroke recovery of finger dexterity.

Journal of neural engineering
Finger dexterity, and finger individuation in particular, is crucial for human movement, and disruptions due to brain injury can significantly impact quality of life. Understanding the neurological mechanisms responsible for recovery is vital for eff...

Artificial Tactile Sensory Finger for Contact Pattern Identification Based on High Spatiotemporal Piezoresistive Sensor Array.

ACS applied materials & interfaces
Human fingertip tactile perception relies on the activation of densely distributed tactile receptors to identify contact patterns in the brain. Despite significant efforts to integrate tactile sensors with machine learning algorithms for recognizing ...

Identification of Spared and Proportionally Controllable Hand Motor Dimensions in Motor Complete Spinal Cord Injuries Using Latent Manifold Analysis.

IEEE transactions on neural systems and rehabilitation engineering : a publication of the IEEE Engineering in Medicine and Biology Society
The loss of bilateral hand function is a debilitating challenge for millions of individuals that suffered a motor-complete spinal cord injury (SCI). We have recently demonstrated in eight tetraplegic individuals the presence of highly functional spar...
