A Stand-Alone Augmented Reality Intervention for Chronic Pain using Embodied Systolic Stimulation

Sylvain Cardin, Andrea Serino, Robert Leeb, Oliver Alan Kannape, Skander Mensi, Fabien Bourban, Alexis Dorier

Chronic pain presents a tremendous personal, societal, and financial burden. Treatment options are often limited to managing symptoms as opposed to treating the causes, and the consequences of pharmacological treatments can be immensely harmful as evidence ...

Context-Aware Learning for Generative Models

José del Rocio Millán Ruiz, Ricardo Andres Chavarriaga Lozano, Robert Leeb, Serafeim Perdikis

This work studies the class of algorithms for learning with side-information that emerges by extending generative models with embedded context-related variables. Using finite mixture models (FMMs) as the prototypical Bayesian network, we show that maximum- ...

Human EEG reveals distinct neural correlates of power and precision grasping types

José del Rocio Millán Ruiz, Ricardo Andres Chavarriaga Lozano, Robert Leeb, Inaki Asier Iturrate Gil, Michael Eric Anthony Pereira, Huaijian Zhang, Tiffany Corbet

Hand grasping is a sophisticated motor task that has received much attention by the neuroscientific community, which demonstrated how grasping activates a network involving parietal, pre-motor and motor cortices using fMRI, ECoG, LFPs and spiking activity. ...

Brain-actuated functional electrical stimulation elicits lasting arm motor recovery after stroke

José del Rocio Millán Ruiz, Hua Zhang, Robert Leeb, Inaki Asier Iturrate Gil, Serafeim Perdikis, Andrea Biasiucci, Tiffany Corbet, Thomas Schmidlin, Dragana Viceic

Brain-computer interfaces (BCI) are used in stroke rehabilitation to translate brain signals into intended movements of the paralyzed limb. However, the efficacy and mechanisms of BCI-based therapies remain unclear. Here we show that BCI coupled to functio ...

Differential contributions of subthalamic beta rhythms and 1/f broadband activity to motor symptoms in Parkinson’s disease

José del Rocio Millán Ruiz, Stéphanie Martin, Jocelyne Bloch, Ricardo Andres Chavarriaga Lozano, Robert Leeb, Inaki Asier Iturrate Gil, Aleksander Sobolewski

Excessive beta oscillatory activity in the subthalamic nucleus (STN) is linked to Parkinson’s Disease (PD) motor symptoms. However, previous works have been inconsistent regarding the functional role of beta activity in untreated Parkinsonian states, quest ...

TiD-Introducing and Benchmarking an Event-Delivery System for Brain-Computer Interfaces

Robert Leeb, Michele Tavella

In this paper, we present and analyze an event distribution system for brain-computer interfaces. Events are commonly used to mark and describe incidents during an experiment and are therefore critical for later data analysis or immediate real-time process ...

Behavioral and cortical effects during attention driven brain-computer interface operations in spatial neglect: A feasibility case study

José del Rocio Millán Ruiz, Robert Leeb, Luca Tonin, Huaijian Zhang

During the last years, several studies have suggested that Brain-Computer Interface (BCI) can play a critical role in the field of motor rehabilitation. In this case report, we aim to investigate the feasibility of a covert visuospatial attention (CVSA) dr ...

The effect of multimodal and enriched feedback on SMR-BCI performance

José del Rocio Millán Ruiz, Robert Leeb, Serafeim Perdikis

Objective: This study investigated the effect of multimodal (visual and auditory) continuous feedback with information about the uncertainty of the input signal on motor imagery based BCI performance. A liquid floating through a visualization of a funnel ( ...
