A Dynamical Systems Perspective on Flexible Motor Timing.

Trends in cognitive sciences
A hallmark of higher brain function is the ability to rapidly and flexibly adjust behavioral responses based on internal and external cues. Here, we examine the computational principles that allow decisions and actions to unfold flexibly in time. We ...

Classification of electroencephalogram signals using wavelet-CSP and projection extreme learning machine.

The Review of scientific instruments
Brain-computer interface (BCI) systems establish a direct communication channel from the brain to an output device. As the basis of BCIs, recognizing motor imagery activities poses a considerable challenge to signal processing due to the complex and ...

Efficacy of Armeo® Robotic Therapy Versus Conventional Therapy on Upper Limb Function in Children With Hemiplegic Cerebral Palsy.

American journal of physical medicine & rehabilitation
OBJECTIVE: The aim of this study was to examine the efficacy of Armeo robotic therapy, compared with conventional therapy, on upper limb function in children with hemiplegic cerebral palsy.

Stroke Rehabilitation: Therapy Robots and Assistive Devices.

Advances in experimental medicine and biology
Motor impairments after stroke are often persistent and disabling, and women are less likely to recover and show poorer functional outcomes. To regain motor function after stroke, rehabilitation robots are increasingly integrated into clinics. The de...

Robotic crabs reveal that female fiddler crabs are sensitive to changes in male display rate.

Biology letters
Males often produce dynamic, repetitive courtship displays that can be demanding to perform and might advertise male quality to females. A key feature of demanding displays is that they can change in intensity: escalating as a male increases his sign...

Robotic Assistance for Training Finger Movement Using a Hebbian Model: A Randomized Controlled Trial.

Neurorehabilitation and neural repair
BACKGROUND: Robots that physically assist movement are increasingly used in rehabilitation therapy after stroke, yet some studies suggest robotic assistance discourages effort and reduces motor learning.

Information theory and robotics meet to study predator-prey interactions.

Chaos (Woodbury, N.Y.)
Transfer entropy holds promise to advance our understanding of animal behavior, by affording the identification of causal relationships that underlie animal interactions. A critical step toward the reliable implementation of this powerful information...

EEG classification for motor imagery and resting state in BCI applications using multi-class Adaboost extreme learning machine.

The Review of scientific instruments
Brain-computer interface (BCI) systems provide an alternative communication and control approach for people with limited motor function. Therefore, the feature extraction and classification approach should differentiate the relative unusual state of ...

Transcranial direct current stimulation (tDCS) of the primary motor cortex and robot-assisted arm training in chronic incomplete cervical spinal cord injury: A proof of concept sham-randomized clinical study.

NeuroRehabilitation
BACKGROUND: After cervical spinal cord injury, current options for treatment of upper extremity motor functions have been limited to traditional approaches. However, there is a substantial need to explore more rigorous alternative treatments to facil...

Effect of clinical parameters on the control of myoelectric robotic prosthetic hands.

Journal of rehabilitation research and development
Improving the functionality of prosthetic hands with noninvasive techniques is still a challenge. Surface electromyography (sEMG) currently gives limited control capabilities; however, the application of machine learning to the analysis of sEMG signa...
