Muscle activities in similar arms performing identical tasks reveal the neural basis of muscle synergies

Martina Coscia

Are the muscle synergies extracted from multiple electromyographic signals an expression of neural information processing, or rather a by-product of mechanical and task constraints? To address this question, we asked 41 right-handed adults to perform a var ...

Reverse engineering the motor control system

Berat Denizdurduran

Mammalian motor control is implemented by a combination of different networks and system, working coherently to plan the movement of the body or a limb and to execute this movement a dynamical environment. While it is believed that complex, voluntary movem ...

Wide-field imaging of cortical neuronal activity with red-shifted functional indicators during motor task execution

Silvestro Micera

Genetically encoded calcium indicators (GECIs) can be used to monitor the intracellular concentration of free calcium in populations of neurons. GECIs with long emission wavelengths are particularly attractive for deep tissue microscopy in vivo, and have t ...

Peripersonal space (PPS) as a multisensory interface between the individual and the environment, defining the space of the self

Andrea Serino

Our brain has developed a specific system to represent the space closely surrounding the body, termed pen personal space (PPS). This space has a key functional role as it is where all physical interactions with objects in the environment occur. Here I desc ...

On Force Synergies in Human Grasping Behavior

Aude Billard, Konstantinos Chatzilygeroudis

The human hand is a versatile and complex system with dexterous manipulation capabilities. For the transfer of human grasping capabilities to humanoid robotic and prosthetic hands, an understanding of the dynamic characteristics of grasp motions is fundame ...

Six-Month Assessment of a Hand Prosthesis with Intraneural Tactile Feedback

Silvestro Micera, Ivo Strauss, Stanisa Raspopovic, Giacomo Valle, Francesco Maria Petrini, Edoardo D'Anna

Objective Hand amputation is a highly disabling event, which significantly affects quality of life. An effective hand replacement can be achieved if the user, in addition to motor functions, is provided with the sensations that are naturally perceived whil ...

Consensus Paper: Experimental Neurostimulation of the Cerebellum

Traian Popa

The cerebellum is best known for its role in controlling motor behaviors. However, recent work supports the view that it also influences non-motor behaviors. The contribution of the cerebellum towards different brain functions is underscored by its involve ...

Non-invasive, Brain-controlled Functional Electrical Stimulation for Locomotion Rehabilitation in Individuals with Paraplegia

Mohamed Bouri, Solaiman Shokur, Miguel Nicolelis

Spinal cord injury (SCI) impairs the flow of sensory and motor signals between the brain and the areas of the body located below the lesion level. Here, we describe a neurorehabilitation setup combining several approaches that were shown to have a positive ...
