Automatic matching of surgeries to predict surgeons' next actions.

Artificial intelligence in medicine
OBJECTIVE: More than half a million surgeries are performed every day worldwide, which makes surgery one of the most important component of global health care. In this context, the objective of this paper is to introduce a new method for the predicti...

HRI usability evaluation of interaction modes for a teleoperated agricultural robotic sprayer.

Applied ergonomics
Teleoperation of an agricultural robotic system requires effective and efficient human-robot interaction. This paper investigates the usability of different interaction modes for agricultural robot teleoperation. Specifically, we examined the overall...

Improving zero-training brain-computer interfaces by mixing model estimators.

Journal of neural engineering
OBJECTIVE: Brain-computer interfaces (BCI) based on event-related potentials (ERP) incorporate a decoder to classify recorded brain signals and subsequently select a control signal that drives a computer application. Standard supervised BCI decoders ...

Feedback for reinforcement learning based brain-machine interfaces using confidence metrics.

Journal of neural engineering
OBJECTIVE: For brain-machine interfaces (BMI) to be used in activities of daily living by paralyzed individuals, the BMI should be as autonomous as possible. One of the challenges is how the feedback is extracted and utilized in the BMI. Our long-ter...

Reduction of Assessment Time for Stroke-Related Impairments Using Robotic Evaluation.

IEEE transactions on neural systems and rehabilitation engineering : a publication of the IEEE Engineering in Medicine and Biology Society
Robotic technologies can provide objective, reliable tools for assessing a broad range of sensory, motor and cognitive functions. However, as additional tasks are developed on these platforms, the time necessary to assess a patient increases. In this...

EXiO-A Brain-Controlled Lower Limb Exoskeleton for Rhesus Macaques.

IEEE transactions on neural systems and rehabilitation engineering : a publication of the IEEE Engineering in Medicine and Biology Society
Recent advances in the field of brain-machine interfaces (BMIs) have demonstrated enormous potential to shape the future of rehabilitation and prosthetic devices. Here, a lower-limb exoskeleton controlled by the intracortical activity of an awake beh...

Local and Remote Cooperation With Virtual and Robotic Agents: A P300 BCI Study in Healthy and People Living With Spinal Cord Injury.

IEEE transactions on neural systems and rehabilitation engineering : a publication of the IEEE Engineering in Medicine and Biology Society
The development of technological applications that allow people to control and embody external devices within social interaction settings represents a major goal for current and future brain-computer interface (BCI) systems. Prior research has sugges...

Using Contact Forces and Robot Arm Accelerations to Automatically Rate Surgeon Skill at Peg Transfer.

IEEE transactions on bio-medical engineering
OBJECTIVE: Most trainees begin learning robotic minimally invasive surgery by performing inanimate practice tasks with clinical robots such as the Intuitive Surgical da Vinci. Expert surgeons are commonly asked to evaluate these performances using st...

Automated selection of brain regions for real-time fMRI brain-computer interfaces.

Journal of neural engineering
OBJECTIVE: Brain-computer interfaces (BCIs) implemented with real-time functional magnetic resonance imaging (rt-fMRI) use fMRI time-courses from predefined regions of interest (ROIs). To reach best performances, localizer experiments and on-site exp...

Quantitative EEG Evaluation During Robot-Assisted Foot Movement.

IEEE transactions on neural systems and rehabilitation engineering : a publication of the IEEE Engineering in Medicine and Biology Society
Passiveand imagined limbmovements induce changes in cerebral oscillatory activity. Central modulatory effects play a role in plastic changes, and are of uttermost importance in rehabilitation. This has extensively been studied for upper limb, but les...
