Towards a BCI for sensorimotor training: Initial results from simultaneous fNIRS and biosignal recordings

Matthias Wolf, Olivier Lambercy, Marie-Christine Fluet

This paper presents the concept and initial results of a novel approach for robot assisted sensorimotor training in stroke rehabilitation. It is based on a brain-body-robot interface (B 2RI), combining both neural and physiological recordings, that detects ...

Neuro-fuzzy decoding of sensory information from ensembles of simultaneously recorded dorsal root ganglion neurons for functional electrical stimulation applications

Silvestro Micera, Jacopo Rigosa

Functional electrical stimulation (FES) is used to improve motor function after injury to the central nervous system. Some FES systems use artificial sensors to switch between finite control states. To optimize FES control of the complex behavior of the mu ...

Haptic/VR Assessment Tool for Fine Motor Control

Hannes Bleuler, Roger Gassert, Olivier Lambercy, Evren Samur, Christophe Emery

The Nine Hole Peg Test (NHPT) is routinely used in clinical environments to evaluate a patient’s fine hand control. A physician measures the total time required to insert nine pegs into nine holes and obtains information on the dexterity of the patient. Ev ...

Facilitating skilled right hand motor function in older subjects by anodal polarization over the left primary motor cortex

Friedhelm Christoph Hummel

Healthy ageing is accompanied by limitations in performance of activities of daily living and personal independence. Recent reports demonstrated improvements in motor function induced by noninvasive anodal direct current stimulation (tDCS) of the primary m ...

Attention to Multiple Local Critics in Decision Making and Control

Arash Arami

Dealing with uncertainties and lack of knowledge about problems and situations, there is a perpetual difficulty to evaluate the situations and action values in all time steps. On the other hand, the design of critics which delicately guide the agent even w ...

Modeling Discrete and Rhythmic Movements through Motor Primitives: A Review

Auke Ijspeert, Sarah Dégallier Rochat

Rhythmic and discrete movements are frequently considered separately in motor control, probably because different techniques are commonly used to study and model them. Yet, an increasing interest for a comprehensive model for movement generation requires t ...

Altered modulation of intracortical excitability during movement preparation in Gilles de la Tourette syndrome

Friedhelm Christoph Hummel

Gilles de la Tourette syndrome is a neuropsychiatric disorder in which cortical disinhibition has been proposed as a pathophysiological mechanism involved in the generation of tics. Tics are typically reduced during task performance and concentration. How ...

On The Road To A Neuroprosthetic Hand: A Novel Hand Grasp Orthosis Based on Functional Electrical Stimulation

José del Rocio Millán Ruiz, Robert Leeb, Michele Tavella, Miguel Joaquin Gubler

To patients who have lost the functionality of their hands as a result of a severe spinal cord injury or brain stroke, the development of new techniques for grasping is indispensable for reintegration and independency in daily life. Functional Electrical S ...
