Bioinspired soft robotic systems that mimic living organisms using engineered muscle tissue and biomaterials are revolutionizing the current biorobotics paradigm, especially in biomedical research. Recreating artificial life-like actuation dynamics i...
OBJECTIVE: Deep brain stimulation (DBS) of the internal segment of the globus pallidus (GPi) in patients with Parkinson's disease and dystonia improves motor symptoms and quality of life. Traditionally, pallidal borders have been demarcated by electr...
OBJECTIVE: Translational studies on motor control and neurological disorders require detailed monitoring of sensorimotor components of natural limb movements in relevant animal models. However, available experimental tools do not provide a sufficient...
OBJECTIVE: The identification of functional regions, in particular the subthalamic nucleus, through microelectrode recording (MER) is the key step in deep brain stimulation (DBS). To eliminate variability in a neurosurgeon's judgment, this study pres...
Biosyncretic robots have potential advantages associated with both living organisms and electromechanical systems. Skeletal muscle tissue is a candidate as bioactuators for biosyncretic robots because of its excellent contraction force and controllab...
Biobotics investigates the use of live insects as biological robots whose locomotion can be controlled by neurostimulation through implanted electrodes. Inactivity in the biobots (biological robots) can sometimes be noticed following extended neurost...

OBJECTIVE: This study seeks to systematically review the selection of features and algorithms for machine learning and automation in deep brain stimulation surgery (DBS) for Parkinson's disease. This will assist in consolidating current knowledge and...
Local perturbations within complex dynamical systems can trigger cascade-like events that spread across significant portions of the system. Cascades of this type have been observed across a broad range of scales in the brain. Studies of these cascade...
Electrocorticography (ECoG), electrophysiological recording from the pial surface of the brain, is a critical measurement technique for clinical neurophysiology, basic neurophysiology studies, and demonstrates great promise for the development of neu...
