OBJECTIVE: To compare the effects of active assisted wrist extension training, using a robotic exoskeleton (RW), with simultaneous 5 Hz (rTMS + RW) or Sham rTMS (Sham rTMS + RW) over the ipsilesional extensor carpi radialis motor cortical representat...
Stress has become a significant cause for many diseases in the modern society. Recently, smartphones, smartwatches and smart wrist-bands have become an integral part of our lives and have reached a widespread usage. This raised the question of whethe...

Suspected fractures are among the most common reasons for patients to visit emergency departments (EDs), and X-ray imaging is the primary diagnostic tool used by clinicians to assess patients for fractures. Missing a fracture in a radiograph often ha...
BACKGROUND: Automatic sleep stage classification is essential for long-term sleep monitoring. Wearable devices show more advantages than polysomnography for home use. In this paper, we propose a novel method for sleep staging using heart rate and wri...
The evolution of deep learning techniques has been transformative as they have allowed complex mappings to be trained between control inputs and outputs without the need for feature engineering. In this work, a myoelectric control system based on con...
