OBJECTIVE: We studied the fundamentals of muscle afferentation by building a Neuro-mechano-morphic system actuating a cadaveric finger. This system is a faithful implementation of the stretch reflex circuitry. It allowed the systematic exploration of...
OBJECTIVE: One goal of neuromorphic engineering is to create 'realistic' robotic systems that interact with the physical world by adopting neuromechanical principles from biology. Critical to this is the methodology to implement the spinal circuitry ...
Ischemic stroke is a leading cause of disability world-wide. Mounting evidence supports neuromuscular pathology following stroke, yet mechanisms of dysfunction and therapeutic action remain undefined. The objectives of our study were to investigate n...
Biological motions of native muscle tissues rely on the nervous system to interface movement with the surrounding environment. The neural innervation of muscles, crucial for regulating movement, is the fundamental infrastructure for swiftly respondin...
