Resting-state functional connectivity predicts the ability to adapt arm reaching in a robot-mediated force field.

NeuroImage
Motor deficits are common outcomes of neurological conditions such as stroke. In order to design personalised motor rehabilitation programmes such as robot-assisted therapy, it would be advantageous to predict how a patient might respond to such trea...

Using echo state networks for classification: A case study in Parkinson's disease diagnosis.

Artificial intelligence in medicine
Despite having notable advantages over established machine learning methods for time series analysis, reservoir computing methods, such as echo state networks (ESNs), have yet to be widely used for practical data mining applications. In this paper, w...

Sustained sensorimotor control as intermittent decisions about prediction errors: computational framework and application to ground vehicle steering.

Biological cybernetics
A conceptual and computational framework is proposed for modelling of human sensorimotor control and is exemplified for the sensorimotor task of steering a car. The framework emphasises control intermittency and extends on existing models by suggesti...

Real-Time Human Detection for Aerial Captured Video Sequences via Deep Models.

Computational intelligence and neuroscience
Human detection in videos plays an important role in various real life applications. Most of traditional approaches depend on utilizing handcrafted features which are problem-dependent and optimal for specific tasks. Moreover, they are highly suscept...

Effect of a robotic seal on the motor activity and sleep patterns of older people with dementia, as measured by wearable technology: A cluster-randomised controlled trial.

Maturitas
OBJECTIVES: The robotic seal, PARO, has been used as an alternative to animal-assisted therapies with residents with dementia in long-term care, yet understanding of its efficacy is limited by a paucity of research. We explored the effects of PARO on...

Combining robotic training and inactivation of the healthy hemisphere restores pre-stroke motor patterns in mice.

eLife
Focal cortical stroke often leads to persistent motor deficits, prompting the need for more effective interventions. The efficacy of rehabilitation can be increased by 'plasticity-stimulating' treatments that enhance experience-dependent modification...

Robotic exoskeleton assessment of transient ischemic attack.

PloS one
We used a robotic exoskeleton to quantify specific patterns of abnormal upper limb motor behaviour in people who have had transient ischemic attack (TIA). A cohort of people with TIA was recruited within two weeks of symptom onset. All individuals co...

Emergent coordination underlying learning to reach to grasp with a brain-machine interface.

Journal of neurophysiology
The development of coordinated reach-to-grasp movement has been well studied in infants and children. However, the role of motor cortex during this development is unclear because it is difficult to study in humans. We took the approach of using a bra...

Sequential Probability Ratio Testing with Power Projective Base Method Improves Decision-Making for BCI.

Computational and mathematical methods in medicine
Obtaining a fast and reliable decision is an important issue in brain-computer interfaces (BCI), particularly in practical real-time applications such as wheelchair or neuroprosthetic control. In this study, the EEG signals were firstly analyzed with...
