Decoding electroencephalographic responses to visual stimuli compatible with electrical stimulation

Silvestro Micera, Simone Romeni, Laura Toni, Fiorenzo Artoni

Electrical stimulation of the visual nervous system could improve the quality of life of patients affected by acquired blindness by restoring some visual sensations, but requires careful optimization of stimulation parameters to produce useful perceptions. ...

Cortico-muscular connectivity is modulated by passive and active Lokomat-assisted Gait

Silvestro Micera, Fiorenzo Artoni

The effects of robotic-assisted gait (RAG) training, besides conventional therapy, on neuroplasticity mechanisms and cortical integration in locomotion are still uncertain. To advance our knowledge on the matter, we determined the involvement of motor cort ...

Event-related causality in stereo-EEG discriminates syntactic processing of noun phrases and verb phrases

Silvestro Micera, Fiorenzo Artoni

Objective. Syntax involves complex neurobiological mechanisms, which are difficult to disentangle for multiple reasons. Using a protocol able to separate syntactic information from sound information we investigated the neural causal connections evoked by t ...

Deep Learning with Convolutional Neural Network for Proportional Control of Finger Movements from surface EMG Recordings

Silvestro Micera, Vincent Alexandre Mendez, Leonardo Pollina, Fiorenzo Artoni

The control of robotic prosthetic hands (RPHs) for upper limb amputees is far from optimal. Simultaneous and proportional finger control of a RPH based on EMG signals is still challenging. Based on EMG and kinematics recordings of subjects following a pre- ...

Stimulus evoked causality estimation in stereo-EEG

Silvestro Micera, Fiorenzo Artoni

Objective. Stereo-electroencephalography (SEEG) has recently gained importance in analyzing brain functions. Its high temporal resolution and spatial specificity make it a powerful tool to investigate the strength, direction, and spectral content of brain ...

Analysis system and method for analysing the movement of a portion of the body and/or of a human prosthesis

Silvestro Micera, Andrea Crema, Fiorenzo Artoni

An analysis method (200) for analysing the pressure exerted by a portion of the body and/or of a human prosthesis comprises the following steps: sampling data generated by the portion of the body and/or the human prosthesis during a threshold calibration p ...

Cortical connectivity and spectral perturbations underlying TENS stimulation of hand nerves: a case study

Silvestro Micera, Fiorenzo Artoni, Edoardo D'Anna

The major challenge in upper limbs neuroprosthetic improvement is the implementation of effective sensory feedback. Transcutaneous electrical nerve stimulation (TENS) of the median and ulnar nerves confirmed, with electroencephalographic (EEG) recordings, ...
