In many animals intersegmental reflexes are important for postural and movement control but are still poorly undesrtood. Mathematical methods can be used to model the responses to stimulation, and thus go beyond a simple description of responses to s...
Bioinspired electronics are rapidly promoting advances in artificial intelligence. Emerging AI applications, e.g., autopilot and robotics, increasingly spur the development of power devices with new forms. Here, we present a strain-controlled power d...
It has been shown that human-like hopping can be achieved by muscle reflex control in neuromechanical simulations. However, it is unclear if this concept is applicable and feasible for controlling a real robot. This paper presents a low-cost two-segm...

Biological motor control mechanisms (e.g., central pattern generators (CPGs), sensory feedback, reflexes, and motor learning) play a crucial role in the adaptive locomotion of animals. However, the interaction and integration of these mechanisms - ne...
Post-analytical reflexive (automated) and/or reflective (patient tailored and thought driven) interventions (PARRI), have played a subsidiary role in many diagnostic laboratories, despite mounting evidence of their clinical value. The ever-pervasive ...
This article examines the importance of integrating locomotion and cognitive information for achieving dynamic locomotion from a viewpoint combining biology and ecological psychology. We present a mammalian neuromusculoskeletal model from external se...
This commentary discusses the prevalence and causes of anemia in primary care in the Netherlands and the role of laboratory diagnostics in determining the cause of anemia. There are indications that guidelines in primary care regarding anemia are ins...

OBJECTIVE: Reflex testing protocols allow clinical laboratories to perform second line diagnostic tests on existing specimens based on the results of initially ordered tests. Reflex testing can support optimal clinical laboratory test ordering and di...
Replicating neural responses observed in biological systems using artificial neural networks holds significant promise in the fields of medicine and engineering. In this study, we employ ultra-fast artificial neurons based on antiferromagnetic (AFM) ...
Gliding birds lack a vertical tail, yet they fly stably rudderless in turbulence without needing discrete flaps to steer. In contrast, nearly all airplanes need vertical tails to damp Dutch roll oscillations and to control yaw. The few exceptions tha...
