On the other hand: Increased cortical activation to human versus mechanical hands in infants.

NeuroImage
There is a large body of work demonstrating that infants are sensitive to the distinction between human and mechanical entities from the early months of life, and have different expectations for the way these entities move and interact. The current w...

Hartmann's procedure vs abdominoperineal resection with intersphincteric dissection in patients with rectal cancer: a randomized multicentre trial (HAPIrect).

BMC surgery
BACKGROUND: The use of Hartmann's procedure in the old and frail and/or in patients with fecal incontinence is increasing, even though some data have reported high postoperative rates of pelvic abscesses. Abdominoperineal excision with intersphincter...

Classification Preictal and Interictal Stages via Integrating Interchannel and Time-Domain Analysis of EEG Features.

Clinical EEG and neuroscience
The life quality of patients with refractory epilepsy is extremely affected by abrupt and unpredictable seizures. A reliable method for predicting seizures is important in the management of refractory epilepsy. A critical factor in seizure prediction...

Feasibility and efficacy of a robotic device for hand rehabilitation in hemiplegic stroke patients: a randomized pilot controlled study.

Clinical rehabilitation
OBJECTIVE: The purpose of the study was to evaluate the feasibility and efficacy of robot-assisted hand rehabilitation in improving arm function abilities in sub-acute hemiplegic patients.

Atypical Asymmetry for Processing Human and Robot Faces in Autism Revealed by fNIRS.

PloS one
Deficits in the visual processing of faces in autism spectrum disorder (ASD) individuals may be due to atypical brain organization and function. Studies assessing asymmetric brain function in ASD individuals have suggested that facial processing, whi...

Prospective Assessment of a Symptomatic Cerebral Vasospasm Predictive Neural Network Model.

World neurosurgery
INTRODUCTION: The author introduced a symptomatic cerebral vasospasm (SCV) prediction model built with freeware based on a 91-patient dataset. In a prospective test group of 22 patients at the same hospital, this model outperformed logistic regressio...

Spectral feature extraction of EEG signals and pattern recognition during mental tasks of 2-D cursor movements for BCI using SVM and ANN.

Australasian physical & engineering sciences in medicine
Brain computer interface (BCI) is a new communication way between man and machine. It identifies mental task patterns stored in electroencephalogram (EEG). So, it extracts brain electrical activities recorded by EEG and transforms them machine contro...

Functional Assessment of a Myoelectric Postural Controller and Multi-Functional Prosthetic Hand by Persons With Trans-Radial Limb Loss.

IEEE transactions on neural systems and rehabilitation engineering : a publication of the IEEE Engineering in Medicine and Biology Society
The functional assessment of myoelectric control algorithms by persons with amputation promotes the overarching goal of the field of prosthetic limb design: to replace what was lost. However, many studies use experimental paradigms with virtual inter...

Discrimination of systolic and diastolic dysfunctions using multi-layer perceptron in heart rate variability analysis.

Computers in biology and medicine
In this study, the heart rate variability (HRV) analysis is used to distinguish patients with systolic congestive heart failure (CHF) from patients with diastolic CHF. In the analysis performed, the best accuracy performances of short-term HRV measur...
