Muscle lengths and moment arms during activities of daily living

Muscle lengths and moment arms are important parameters of musculoskeletal models. These data determine muscle forces and moments and thus joint contact forces, an important value in musculoskeletal biomechanics. In the literature, there are many data avai ...

How vestibular stimulation interacts with illusory hand ownership

Olaf Blanke, Christophe Lopez, Bigna Lenggenhager

Artificial stimulation of the peripheral vestibular system has been shown to improve ownership of body parts in neurological patients, suggesting vestibular contributions to bodily self-consciousness. Here, we investigated whether galvanic vestibular stimu ...

Cortical processing of near-threshold tactile stimuli: an MEG study

Johannes Rüter

In the present study we tested the applicability of a paired-stimulus paradigm for the investigation of near-threshold (NT) stimulus processing in the somatosensory system using magnetoencephalography. Cortical processing of the NT stimuli was studied indi ...

Regulation of cortical contractility and spindle positioning by the protein phosphatase 6 PPH-6 in one-cell stage C. elegans embryos

Pierre Gönczy

Modulation of the microtubule and the actin cytoskeleton is crucial for proper cell division. Protein phosphorylation is known to be an important regulatory mechanism modulating these cytoskeletal networks. By contrast, there is a relative paucity of infor ...

A novel verticalized reeducation device for spinal cord injuries, the WalkTrainer: from design to the clinical trials

Reymond Clavel, Mohamed Bouri, Yves Stauffer, Jacques Fournier, Yves Allemand

Robotic assistive devices have been developed and are now being introduced in clinical environments. Such robots can advantageously provide long raining, with quantifiable mobilization (force and position). But in the event of a complete lesion the patient ...

Indirect Manipulation of a Sphere on a Flat Disk Using Force Information

Masayuki Hara, Jian Huang

The objective of this study is to verify if only the use of robotic force feedback enables indirect and dynamic manipulations which are difficult for human beings to perform. Human beings usually control the trajectory of an object using visual feedback; f ...

Migraine Aura: Retracting Particle-Like Waves in Weakly Susceptible Cortex

Nouchine Hadjikhani

Cortical spreading depression (SD) has been suggested to underlie migraine aura. Despite a precise match in speed, the spatio-temporal patterns of SD observed in animal cortex and aura symptoms mapped to the cortical surface ordinarily differ in aspects of ...

Evolution of functional specialization in a morphologically homogeneous robot

Joshua Evan Auerbach

A central tenet of embodied artificial intelligence is that intelligent behavior arises out of the coupled dynamics between an agent's body, brain and environment. It follows that the complexity of an agents's controller and morphology must match the compl ...
