Cerebellar transcranial alternating current stimulation in the gamma range applied during the acquisition of a novel motor skill

Manon Chloé Durand-Ruel, Pablo Maceira Elvira, Friedhelm Christoph Hummel, Takuya Morishita, Maximilian Jonas Wessel, Laurijn Rianne Draaisma, Philipp Johannes Koch, Chang-Hyun Park, Anne Freija Willemijn De Boer

The development of novel strategies to augment motor training success is of great interest for healthy persons and neurological patients. A promising approach is the combination of training with transcranial electric stimulation. However, limited reproduci ...

Hand perceptions induced by single pulse transcranial magnetic stimulation over the primary motor cortex

Olaf Blanke, Andrea Serino, Michela Bassolino, Matteo Franza, Giuliana Sorrentino, Matteo Vissani

Background When single pulse transcranial magnetic stimulation (TMS) is applied over the primary motor cortex (M1) with sufficient intensity, it evokes muscular contractions (motor-evoked potentials, MEPs) and muscle twitches (TMS-evoked movements). Partic ...

The Effects of Stimulator, Waveform, and Current Direction on Intracortical Inhibition and Facilitation: A TMS Comparison Study

Friedhelm Christoph Hummel, Takuya Morishita, Maximilian Jonas Wessel, Laurijn Rianne Draaisma

Background: Cortical function is dependent on the balance between excitatory and inhibitory influences. In the human motor cortex, surrogates of these interactions can be measured in vivo, non-invasively with double-pulse transcranial magnetic stimulation ...

Implantable Autonomous Wireless Closed-loop Bio-electronics for Epilepsy Control

Reza Ranjandish

Implantable electronic medical device (IEMD) is an emerging technology that plays an important role in the treatment of several neurological disorders such as epilepsy, especially in the cases of drug-resistant epilepsy. Recent developments and studies sho ...

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 ...

System Design and Advanced Circuit Techniques for Bi-Directional Brain-Machine Interfaces

Wen-Yang Hsu

Bi-directional brain-machine interfaces (BBMIs) that can capture electrophysiological signals and provide feedback through electrical stimulation are emerging tools with various applica-tions in fundamental neuroscience research as well as in clinical trea ...

Non-invasive brain stimulation of motor cortex induces embodiment when integrated with virtual reality feedback

Olaf Blanke, Javier Bello Ruiz, Andrea Serino, Thomas Schmidlin, Marco Solcà, Marianne Anke Stephan, Matteo Franza, Mattia Pinardi

Previous evidence highlighted the multisensory-motor origin of embodiment - that is, the experience of having a body and of being in control of it - and the possibility of experimentally manipulating it. For instance, an illusory feeling of embodiment towa ...

Non-invasive Cerebellar Stimulation: a Promising Approach for Stroke Recovery?

Friedhelm Christoph Hummel, Maximilian Jonas Wessel

Non-invasive brain stimulation (NIBS) combined with behavioral training is a promising strategy to augment recovery after stroke. Current research efforts have been mainly focusing on primary motor cortex (M1) stimulation. However, the translation from pro ...

An Active Charge Balancing Method Based on Chopped Anodic Phase

Alexandre Schmid, Reza Ranjandish

A new method for safe electrical neural stimulation is proposed. A negative feedback is used to automatically produce short anodic pulses according to the remaining voltage. The period of the short anodic pulses varies according to the remaining voltage. T ...

Electrical spinal cord stimulation must preserve proprioception to enable locomotion in humans with spinal cord injury

Camille Georgette Marie Le Goff-Mignardot, Silvestro Micera, Grégoire Courtine, Emanuele Formento, Marco Capogrosso, Jean-Baptiste Mignardot, Fabien Bertrand Paul Wagner, Andreas Rowald, Karen Minassian, Jocelyne Bloch

Epidural electrical stimulation (EES) of the spinal cord restores locomotion in animal models of spinal cord injury but is less effective in humans. Here we hypothesized that this interspecies discrepancy is due to interference between EES and propriocepti ...

Designing sensory feedback approaches for restoring touch and position feedback in upper limb amputees

Edoardo D'Anna

Upper limb amputation disrupts most daily activities and reduces the quality of life of affected individuals. Building a suitable prosthetic limb, which can restore at least some of the lost capabilities, is a goal which has been pursued for centuries. In ...
