Combination of Neurotechnologies Towards Personalized Neurorehabilitation for Stroke Patients

"Ensure healthy lives and promote well-being for all at all ages" is the third sustainable development goal for the United Nations Agenda of 2030. This doctoral thesis fully embodied this objective by targeting stroke, a leading cause of death and disabili ...

Prediction of post-stroke motor recovery benefits from measures of sub-acute widespread network damages

Dimitri Nestor Alice Van De Ville, Elvira Pirondini, Maria Giulia Preti, Cyprien Alban Félicien Rivier

Rivier et al. report that global measures of brain connectivity estimated by introducing virtual lesions in healthy structural connectomes significantly increase the accuracy of motor recovery prediction in stroke patients when added to focal and clinical ...

Molecular reconstruction and simulation of the Neuron-Glia-Vasculature system

Polina Shichkova

The outstanding information processing capacity of the brain relies on numerous molecular mechanisms. It is an extremely energy-expensive function, which involves specialization and collaboration of different cell types. A common framework to study the com ...

Towards patient-tailored interventions for stroke recovery: graph theoretical approaches and modeling of non-invasive brain stimulation

Giorgia Giulia Evangelista

Stroke is a disease that causes the death of precious brain cells that will never grow back and which will affect one in four humans at some point in their life. While therapies and treatments for this debilitating condition are fairly standard, their outc ...

Connectivity Measures Differentiate Cortical and Subcortical Sub-Acute Ischemic Stroke Patients

Silvestro Micera, Michael Lassi

Brain lesions caused by cerebral ischemia lead to network disturbances in both hemispheres, causing a subsequent reorganization of functional connectivity both locally and remotely with respect to the injury. Quantitative electroencephalography (qEEG) meth ...

Forecasting intracranial hypertension using multi-scale waveform metrics

Walter Karlen, Martin Jaggi

Objective: Acute intracranial hypertension is an important risk factor of secondary brain damage after traumatic brain injury. Hypertensive episodes are often diagnosed reactively, leading to late detection and lost time for intervention planning. A pro-ac ...

Comparison of Regularization Techniques for Microwave Imaging of Brain Stroke

Michael Mattes, Jean-Philippe Thiran, Mina Bjelogrlic, Benjamin Fuchs

This paper studies the performance of three wellknown regularization techniques to solve the inverse problem encountered in differential microwave imaging for brain stroke applications. Reconstructions from a multi-illumination configuration based on measu ...

Microwave Imaging of Brain Stroke : Contributions to Modeling and Inverse Problem Resolution

Mina Bjelogrlic

Brain stroke is an age-related illness which has become a major issue in our ageing societies. Early diagnosis and treatment are of high importance for the full recovery of the patient, as reminded in Anglo-Saxon countries by the abbreviation FAST (Face, A ...

Reducing GABA(A)-mediated inhibition improves forelimb motor function after focal cortical stroke in mice

Silvestro Micera, Stefano Lai

A deeper understanding of post-stroke plasticity is critical to devise more effective pharmacological and rehabilitative treatments. The GABAergic system is one of the key modulators of neuronal plasticity, and plays an important role in the control of "cr ...

On the born approximation for differential microwave imaging using volume integral equation formulation

Juan Ramon Mosig, Michael Mattes, Mina Bjelogrlic, Benjamin Fuchs

The Degree of Non-Linearity (DNL) of scattering problems and specifically of differential Microwave Imaging (dMWI) problems is addressed in this paper. The quantification of the DNL amounts to evaluate the validity range of the Born first order (linear) ap ...

Modulation of the inter-hemispheric asymmetry of motor-related brain activity using brain-computer interfaces

José del Rocio Millán Ruiz, Michael Eric Anthony Pereira, Aleksander Sobolewski

Non-invasive brain stimulation has shown promis- ing results in neurorehabilitation for motor-impaired stroke patients, by rebalancing the relative involvement of each hemisphere in movement generation. Similarly, brain-computer interfaces have been used t ...

Numerical Assessment of Brain Stroke Follow-Up via Differential Microwave Imaging

Juan Ramon Mosig, Michael Mattes, Mina Bjelogrlic

This paper proposes a numerical assessment of brain stroke follow-up via differential Microwave Imaging. The aim is to follow the evolution of the patient’s stroke growth and location, in order to support decisions in the clinical treatment. We present a f ...

On The Road To A Neuroprosthetic Hand: A Novel Hand Grasp Orthosis Based on Functional Electrical Stimulation

José del Rocio Millán Ruiz, Michele Tavella, Heather Christine Klug, Robert Leeb, Miguel Joaquin Gubler

To patients who have lost the functionality of their hands as a result of a severe spinal cord injury or brain stroke, the development of new techniques for grasping is indispensable for reintegration and independency in daily life. Functional Electrical S ...
