Robot-Guided Neuronavigated Repetitive Transcranial Magnetic Stimulation (rTMS) in Central Neuropathic Pain.

Archives of physical medicine and rehabilitation
OBJECTIVES: To confirm and extend previous results involving repetitive transcranial magnetic stimulation (rTMS) aimed at alleviating refractory central neuropathic pain (CNP). To evaluate pain relief in detail and to assess ongoing benefits after on...

Muscleless motor synergies and actions without movements: From motor neuroscience to cognitive robotics.

Physics of life reviews
Emerging trends in neurosciences are providing converging evidence that cortical networks in predominantly motor areas are activated in several contexts related to 'action' that do not cause any overt movement. Indeed for any complex body, human or e...

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...

Ongoing brain rhythms shape I-wave properties in a computational model.

Brain stimulation
BACKGROUND: Responses to transcranial magnetic stimulation (TMS) are notoriously variable. Previous studies have observed a dependence of TMS-induced responses on ongoing brain activity, for instance sensorimotor rhythms. This suggests an opportunity...

Deep learning for hybrid EEG-fNIRS brain-computer interface: application to motor imagery classification.

Journal of neural engineering
OBJECTIVE: Brain-computer interface (BCI) refers to procedures that link the central nervous system to a device. BCI was historically performed using electroencephalography (EEG). In the last years, encouraging results were obtained by combining EEG ...

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...

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...

A cryptography-based approach for movement decoding.

Nature biomedical engineering
Brain decoders use neural recordings to infer the activity or intent of a user. To train a decoder, one generally needs to infer the measured variables of interest (covariates) from simultaneously measured neural activity. However, there are cases fo...

A Deep Learning Scheme for Motor Imagery Classification based on Restricted Boltzmann Machines.

IEEE transactions on neural systems and rehabilitation engineering : a publication of the IEEE Engineering in Medicine and Biology Society
Motor imagery classification is an important topic in brain-computer interface (BCI) research that enables the recognition of a subject's intension to, e.g., implement prosthesis control. The brain dynamics of motor imagery are usually measured by el...

A cortically-inspired model for inverse kinematics computation of a humanoid finger with mechanically coupled joints.

Bioinspiration & biomimetics
The human hand's versatility allows for robust and flexible grasping. To obtain such efficiency, many robotic hands include human biomechanical features such as fingers having their two last joints mechanically coupled. Although such coupling enables...
