Apraxia: a review

Olaf Blanke, Aude Billard, Biljana Petreska von Ritter-Zahony

Praxic functions are frequently altered following brain lesion, giving rise to apraxia - a complex pattern of impairments that is difficult to assess or interpret. In this chapter, we review the current taxonomies of apraxia and related cognitive and neuro ...

Accurate Real-time Feedback of Surface EMG during fMRI

Roger Gassert

Real-time acquisition of electromyography (EMG) during functional Magnetic Resonance Imaging (fMRI) provides a novel method of controlling motor experiments in the scanner using feedback of EMG. Due to the redundancy in the human muscle system this is not ...

Spatiotemporal dynamics of cortical sensorimotor integration in behaving mice

Carl Petersen, Rachel Aronoff

Tactile information is actively acquired and processed in the brain through concerted interactions between movement and sensation. Somatosensory input is often the result of self-generated movement during the active touch of objects, and conversely, sensor ...

High-Resolution EEG Techniques for Brain-Computer Interface Applications

José del Rocio Millán Ruiz

High-resolution electroencephalographic (HREEG) techniques allow estimation of cortical activity based on non-invasive scalp potential measurements, using appropriate models of volume conduction and of neuroelectrical sources. In this study we propose an a ...

Optimization of a Single Phase Ultrasonic Linear Motor

Yves Perriard, José Fernandez Lopez, Markus Flückiger

Piezoelectric ultrasonic motors are superior to electromagnetic micromotors, because their efficiency remains theoretically constant during miniaturization. However, the still relatively recent technology has a considerable unexploited optimization potenti ...

Playing Defense Against Lou Gehrig's Disease

Patrick Aebischer

The official name of the illness is amyotrophic lateral sclerosis (ALS), but in the U.S. it is better known as Lou Gehrig’s disease. The great New York Yankees first baseman was diagnosed with ALS in 1939 and died two years later from the progressive neuro ...

Automatic Methods for Motor Intention Recognition from Spike Rates

Martin Hasler, Jugoslava Acimovic

In this paper we present a method for automatic detection of motor intention from in vivo neuronal recordings in monkeys. The analysis relies on a data base of spike trains collected in a series of experiments aiming to study the hand-eye coordination mech ...

The WalkTrainer: A Robotic System for Walking Rehabilitation

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

Standard reeducation methods for paraplegic people rely on manual or robotic mobilization on a treadmill. However in both cases the motion is generated by an exterior force, the training is thus called passive. In this context the Swiss Fondation for Cyber ...

The role of inhibition in motor control of finger functions

Friedhelm Christoph Hummel

The motor actions that can be witnessed as a virtuoso musician performs can be so fast, so accomplished, so precise, as to seem somehow superhuman. The musician has to produce the movements, monitor those they have already made and the subsequent result, c ...
