Neural and muscular factors both contribute to plantar-flexor muscle weakness in older fallers

Plantar-flexor muscles are key muscles in the control of postural sway. Older fallers present lower maximal plantar-flexor performance than older non-fallers; however, the mechanisms underlying this motor impairment remain to be elucidated. This study aime ...

Decoding of Self-paced Lower-Limb Movement Intention: A Case Study on the Influence Factors

José del Rocio Millán Ruiz, Ricardo Andres Chavarriaga Lozano, Dong Liu

Brain-machine interfaces (BMIs) have been applied as new rehabilitation tools for motor disabled individuals. Active involvement of cerebral activity has been shown to enhance neuroplasticity and thus to restore mobility. Various studies have focused on th ...

Modeling perceptual learning: why mice do not play backgammon

Michael Herzog, Carl Kristoffer Aberg

Perceptual learning is often considered one of the simplest and basic forms of learning in general. Accordingly, it is usually modeled with simple and basic neural networks which show good results in grasping the empirical data. Simple meets simple. Comple ...
