Personalizable computational models of electrical spinal cord stimulation to restore function after neurological disorders

Andreas Rowald

Spinal Cord Injury (SCI) disrupts the communication between the brain and spinal circuits below the lesion, leading to a plethora of neurological impairments, including the loss of motor function. At present, the only medical practices to enhance recovery ...

Robot-induced hallucinations in Parkinson’s disease depend on altered sensorimotor processing in fronto-temporal network

Dimitri Nestor Alice Van De Ville, Olaf Blanke, Nathan Quentin Faivre, Giulio Rognini, Fosco Bernasconi, Michela Bassolino, Jevita Potheegadoo, Michel Akselrod, Eva Blondiaux, Giedre Stripeikyte, Matteo Franza

Hallucinations in Parkinson’s disease (PD) are disturbing and frequent non-motor symptoms and constitute a major risk factor for psychosis and dementia. We report a robotics-based approach applying conflicting sensorimotor stimulation, enabling the inducti ...

Designing Gamified Activities with Haptic-Enabled Tangible Robots for Therapy and Assistance

Arzu Güneysu Özgür

In this thesis, we contribute to the field of rehabilitation robotics by designing haptic-enabled tangible robot-based activities and exploring their added value for therapy and assistance. The research specifically focuses on the design and development of ...

Unsupervised Domain Adaptation for Cross-Subject Few-Shot Neurological Symptom Detection

Mahsa Shoaran, Bingzhao Zhu

Modern machine learning tools have shown promise in detecting symptoms of neurological disorders. However, current approaches typically train a unique classifier for each subject. This subject-specific training scheme requires long labeled recordings from ...

Fronto-Temporal Disconnection Within the Presence Hallucination Network in Psychotic Patients With Passivity Experiences

Olaf Blanke, Patric Hagmann, Alessandra Griffa, Giulio Rognini, Roy Salomon, Nathan Quentin Faivre, Jevita Potheegadoo, Eva Blondiaux, Giedre Stripeikyte

Psychosis, characterized by hallucinations and delusions, is a common feature of psychiatric disease, especially schizophrenia. One prominent theory posits that psychosis is driven by abnormal sensorimotor predictions leading to the misattribution of self- ...

Transient Neurovascular Interface for Minimally Invasive Neural Recording and Stimulation

Diego Ghezzi, Philippe Reymond, Laura Ferlauto, Adele Fanelli, Elodie Geneviève Zollinger

Neural interfaces are used to mitigate the burden of traumatic injuries, neurodegenerative diseases, and mental disorders. However, the transient or permanent placement of an interface in close contact with the neural tissue requires invasive surgery, pote ...

Electrical spinal cord stimulation protocols to regulate motor and autonomic functions in people with neurological disorders

Robin Jonathan Demesmaeker

Neurological disorders such as spinal cord injury (SCI) massively reduce independence and quality of life. Most often, the majority of the nervous system is still fully or partially spared, but dysfunctional due to aberrant or absent descending input from ...

Development of a peripheral neuroprosthesis to elicit fine hand movements in primates

Marion Aimée Geneviève Badi-Dubois

Neurological disorders such as spinal cord lesion and stroke disturb sensorimotor pathways and result in severe motor deficits that can dreadfully impact the quality of life of affected individuals. Strategies aiming at restoring hand function after upper- ...

Thalamic microcircuitry: neurons, synapses, and circuit motifs in receptive field structure and sensory processing

Jane Yi

Our perception of the world is first shaped by the thalamus, a structure composed of many nuclei in the center of our brains. Different nuclei hold different responsibilities - vision (dorsal lateral genicular nucleus; dLGN), audition (medial geniculate nu ...

Probiotics and gut microbiome-Prospects and challenges in remediating heavy metal toxicity

Edgard Gnansounou

The gut microbiome, often referred to as "super organ", comprises up to a hundred trillion microorganisms, and the species diversity may vary from person to person. They perform a decisive role in diverse biological functions related to metabolism, immunit ...
