A neuromorphic model of motor overflow in focal hand dystonia due to correlated sensory input.

Journal of neural engineering
OBJECTIVE: Motor overflow is a common and frustrating symptom of dystonia, manifested as unintentional muscle contraction that occurs during an intended voluntary movement. Although it is suspected that motor overflow is due to cortical disorganizati...

Modeling and analysis of bio-syncretic micro-swimmers for cardiomyocyte-based actuation.

Bioinspiration & biomimetics
Along with sensation and intelligence, actuation is one of the most important factors in the development of conventional robots. Many novel achievements have been made regarding bio-based actuators to solve the challenges of conventional actuation. H...

Effects of reduced plantar cutaneous sensation on static postural control in individuals with and without chronic ankle instability.

Journal of science and medicine in sport
OBJECTIVES: The purpose of this study was to determine how reduced plantar cutaneous sensation influences static postural control in individuals with and without CAI.

Test-retest reliability of KINARM robot sensorimotor and cognitive assessment: in pediatric ice hockey players.

Journal of neuroengineering and rehabilitation
BACKGROUND: Better diagnostic and prognostic tools are needed to address issues related to early diagnosis and management of concussion across the continuum of aging but particularly in children and adolescents. The purpose of the current study was t...

Slithering towards autonomy: a self-contained soft robotic snake platform with integrated curvature sensing.

Bioinspiration & biomimetics
Soft robotic snakes promise significant advantages in achieving traveling curvature waves with a reduced number of active segments as well as allowing for safe and adaptive interaction with the environment and human users. However, current soft robot...

A network model comprising 4 segmental, interconnected ganglia, and its application to simulate multi-legged locomotion in crustaceans.

Journal of computational neuroscience
Inter-segmental coordination is crucial for the locomotion of animals. Arthropods show high variability of leg numbers, from 6 in insects up to 750 legs in millipedes. Despite this fact, the anatomical and functional organization of their nervous sys...

Sentiment analysis using common-sense and context information.

Computational intelligence and neuroscience
Sentiment analysis research has been increasing tremendously in recent times due to the wide range of business and social applications. Sentiment analysis from unstructured natural language text has recently received considerable attention from the r...

Machine Learning Exploration of Brain Morphological Features and Sensory Measures.

Annual International Conference of the IEEE Engineering in Medicine and Biology Society. IEEE Engineering in Medicine and Biology Society. Annual International Conference
Previous investigations have implicated the neuroanatomical basis of sensory systems; however, definitive neuroimaging biomarkers remain elusive. The present study employs machine learning techniques to probe the relationship between brain morphologi...

Influence of prior knowledge on eye movements to scenes as revealed by hidden Markov models.

Journal of vision
Human visual experience usually provides ample opportunity to accumulate knowledge about events unfolding in the environment. In typical scene perception experiments, however, participants view images that are unrelated to each other and, therefore, ...

Somatosensory actuator based on stretchable conductive photothermally responsive hydrogel.

Science robotics
Mimicking biological neuromuscular systems' sensory motion requires the unification of sensing and actuation in a singular artificial muscle material, which must not only actuate but also sense their own motions. These functionalities would be of gre...
