Distinct contributions of extrastriate body area and temporoparietal junction in perceiving one's own and others' body

The right temporoparietal cortex plays a critical role in body representation. Here, we applied repetitive transcranial magnetic stimulation (rTMS) over right extrastriate body area (EBA) and temporoparietal junction (TPJ) to investigate their causative ro ...

Moving sounds within the peripersonal space modulate the motor system

Andrea Serino, Elisa Canzoneri, Michela Bassolino

Interactions between ourselves and the external world are mediated by a multisensory representation of the space surrounding the body, i.e. the peripersonal space (PPS). In particular, a special interplay is observed among tactile stimuli delivered on a bo ...

Conducting polymer electrodes for auditory brainstem implants

Stéphanie Lacour, Nicolas Vachicouras, Amélie Anne Guex

The auditory brainstem implant (ABI) restores hearing in patients with damaged auditory nerves. One of the main ideas to improve the efficacy of ABIs is to increase spatial specificity of stimulation, in order to minimize extra-auditory side-effects and to ...

Modulation of the inter-hemispheric asymmetry of motor-related brain activity using brain-computer interfaces

José del Rocio Millán Ruiz, Michael Eric Anthony Pereira, Aleksander Sobolewski

Non-invasive brain stimulation has shown promis- ing results in neurorehabilitation for motor-impaired stroke patients, by rebalancing the relative involvement of each hemisphere in movement generation. Similarly, brain-computer interfaces have been used t ...

Vestibular Processing and its Cortical Signature in Humans

Steven Gale

The vestibular system encodes rotations and translations of the head in space. While much is known about cortical processing of the classical Aristotelian sensory modalities, such as vision and touch, knowledge of how vestibular stimulation is encoded in t ...

Modulating pathological oscillations by rhythmic non-invasive brain stimulation-a therapeutic concept?

Friedhelm Christoph Hummel

A large amount of studies of the last decades revealed an association between human behavior and oscillatory activity in the human brain. Alike, abnormalities of oscillatory activity were related with pathological behavior in many neuropsychiatric disorder ...

A Computational Framework for Electrical Stimulation of Vestibular Nerve

Silvestro Micera, Marco Capogrosso

The vestibular organs are very important to generate reflexes critical for stabilizing gaze and body posture. Vestibular diseases significantly reduce the quality of life of people who are affected by them. Some research groups have recently started develo ...

Brain Stimulation and its Role in Neurological Diseases

Friedhelm Christoph Hummel

The growing use of non-invasive brain stimulation in clinical applications reflects its capabilities to transiently modulate cortical excitability, motor and cognitive functions in ways not possible with other techniques. Neurological disorders represent t ...

A real-time research platform to study vestibular implants with gyroscopic inputs in vestibular deficient subjects

Silvestro Micera, Thuy Anh Khoa Nguyen, Maurizio Ranieri

Researchers have succeeded in partly restoring damaged vestibular functionality in several animal models. Recently, acute interventions have also been demonstrated in human patients. Our previous work on a vestibular implant for humans used predefined stim ...
