Impairment of Procedural Learning and Motor Intracortical Inhibition in Neurofibromatosis Type 1 Patients

Friedhelm Christoph Hummel, Maximilian Jonas Wessel

Cognitive difficulties are the most common neurological complications in neurofibromatosis type 1 (NF1) patients. Recent animal models proposed increased GABA-mediated inhibition as one underlying mechanism directly affecting the induction of long-term pot ...

Skill learning based catching motion control

Learned biomechanical strategies prepare the human body in kinematics and kinetics terms during interception tasks, such as throwing and catching, in real world. Based on this, we present a real-time physics-based approach that generates natural and physic ...

Disrupting the ipsilateral motor cortex interferes with training of a complex motor task in older adults

Friedhelm Christoph Hummel

Performance of unimanual movements is associated with bihemispheric activity in the motor cortex in old adults. However, the causal functional role of the ipsilateral MC (iMC) for motor control is still not completely known. Here, the behavioral consequenc ...

White matter integrity of motor connections related to training gains in healthy aging

Friedhelm Christoph Hummel, Maximilian Jonas Wessel

Impaired motor skill acquisition is a feature of older age. Acquisition of new motor skills requires the interplay between different cortical motor areas. Using diffusion tensor imaging we reconstructed cortico-cortical connections between the primary moto ...

Towards Automatic Discovery of Agile Gaits for Quadrupedal Robots

Roland Siegwart, Marco Hutter

Developing control methods that allow legged robots to move with skill and agility remains one of the grand challenges in robotics. In order to achieve this ambitious goal, legged robots must possess a wide repertoire of motor skills. A scalable control ar ...

Musical training intensity yields opposite effects on grey matter density in cognitive versus sensorimotor networks

Dimitri Nestor Alice Van De Ville, François Lazeyras

Using optimized voxel-based morphometry, we performed grey matter density analyses on 59 age-, sex- and intelligence-matched young adults with three distinct, progressive levels of musical training intensity or expertise. Structural brain adaptations in mu ...

Multicontrats MRI Improved the Clinico-Radiological Correlation in Early Multiple Sclerosis Patients with Minor Deficits

Jean-Philippe Thiran, David Paul Roger Romascano, Cristina Granziera, Djalel Eddine Meskaldji, Alexis Roche, Guillaume Bonnier, Ying-Chia Lin, Gloria Menegaz

Conventional magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) of patients with multiple sclerosis provides only limited insights into the nature of brain tissue damage with modest clinical-radiological correlations. In this study, quantitative and semi-quantitative MRI te ...

Multidirectional transparent support for overground gait training

Joachim von Zitzewitz

Gait and balance training is an essential ingredient for locomotor rehabilitation of patients with neurological impairments. Robotic overhead support systems may help these patients train, for example by relieving them of part of their body weight. However ...

Tracking Motor Improvement at the Subtask Level During Robot-Aided Neurorehabilitation of Stroke Patients

Silvestro Micera, Roberto Colombo

Background. Robot-aided neurorehabilitation can provide intensive, repetitious training to improve upper-limb function after stroke. To be more effective, motor therapy ought to be progressive and continuously challenge the patient's ability. Current robot ...

Imitation Learning of Motion Coordination in Robots

Elena Gribovskaya

The ease with which humans coordinate all their limbs is fascinating. Such a simplicity is the result of a complex process of motor coordination, i.e. the ability to resolve the biomechanical redundancy in an efficient and repeatable manner. Coordination e ...
