Sensory-Motor Neurostimulation to Enhance Exosuit Performance

Silvestro Micera, Andrea Crema, Stanisa Raspopovic, Giacomo Valle

Exosuits typically provide limited mechanical support and rely on a user's residual functional ability. However, people with neurological impairments often suffer from both motor and sensory deficits that limit the assistance an exosuit can provide. To ove ...

Longitudinal interrogation of sympathetic neural circuits and hemodynamics in preclinical models

Grégoire Courtine, Quentin Barraud, Jordan Squair, Matthieu Pierre Gautier, Victor Perez Puchalt, Loïs Thomas Romain Mahe, Rémi Bernard René Hudelle, Jan Elaine Cuevas Soriano, Suje Amir

Neurological disorders, including spinal cord injury, result in hemodynamic instability due to the disruption of supraspinal projections to the sympathetic circuits located in the spinal cord. We recently developed a preclinical model that allows the ident ...

During capsaicin-induced central sensitization, brush allodynia is associated with baseline warmth sensitivity, whereas mechanical hyperalgesia is associated with painful mechanical sensibility, anxiety and somatization

Anne-Christine Schmid

Background Mechanical hyperalgesia and allodynia incidence varies considerably amongst neuropathic pain patients. This study explored whether sensory or psychological factors associate with mechanical hyperalgesia and brush allodynia in a human experimenta ...

Predicting task performance from biomarkers of mental fatigue in global brain activity

Mahsa Shoaran

Objective. Detection and early prediction of mental fatigue (i.e. shifts in vigilance), could be used to adapt neuromodulation strategies to effectively treat patients suffering from brain injury and other indications with prominent chronic mental fatigue. ...

Enhancing analgesic spinal cord stimulation for chronic pain with personalized immersive virtual reality

Olaf Blanke, Bruno Herbelin, Andrea Serino, Giulio Rognini, Marco Solcà, Robin Mange, Pavo Orepic

Spinal cord stimulation (SCS) is an approved treatment for truncal and limb neuropathic pain. However, pain relief is often suboptimal and SCS efficacy may reduce over time, requiring sometimes the addition of other pain therapies, stimulator revision, or ...

Behavioral and neurophysiological evidence for altered interoceptive bodily processing in chronic pain

Olaf Blanke, Fosco Bernasconi, Hyeongdong Park, Marco Solcà

Whereas impaired multisensory processing of bodily stimuli and distorted body representation are well-established in various chronic pain disorders, such research has focused on exteroceptive bodily cues and neglected bodily signals from the inside of the ...

Cognitive neuroprosthetics for investigating and restoring body perception

Marco Solcà

Our brain constantly receives and integrates a flow of multisensory bodily inputs that are responsible for the way our body is represented and consciously experienced. However, in some pathological conditions, patients might experience altered perceptions ...

Quantifying dimensions of physical behavior in chronic pain conditions

Kamiar Aminian, Anisoara Ionescu

Background: Chronic pain, defined as persistent or recurrent pain lasting longer than 3 months, is a frequent condition affecting an important percent of population worldwide. Pain chronicity can be caused by many different factors and is a frequent compon ...
