Author(s)3: Tai-You Lin, Jin-Shang Wu, Linda L. Lin, Ting-Chuan Ho, Pei-Yi Lin, Jia-Jin J. Chen
Assessments of Muscle Oxygenation and Cortical Activity Using Functional Near-infrared Spectroscopy in Healthy Adults During Hybrid Activation 780 908 Transactions on Neural Systems and Rehabilitation Engineering (TNSRE)

Hybrid activation (HA), patterned electrical stimulation (ES) superimposed on attempted voluntary movement in close synchrony, can augment muscle force output. It has been proposed for limb function restoration and neuromodulation.…

Mechanisms of Gait Asymmetry Due to Push-Off Deficiency in Unilateral Amputees
Author(s)3: Peter Gabriel Adamczyk, Arthur D. Kuo
Mechanisms of Gait Asymmetry Due to Push-Off Deficiency in Unilateral Amputees 780 705 Transactions on Neural Systems and Rehabilitation Engineering (TNSRE)

Unilateral lower-limb amputees exhibit asymmetry in many gait features, such as ground force, step time, step length, and joint mechanics. Although these asymmetries result from weak prosthetic-side push-off, there is…

Hand Pose Estimation by Fusion of Inertial and Magnetic Sensing Aided by a Permanent Magnet
Author(s)3: Henk G. Kortier, Jacob Antonsson, H. Martin Schepers, Fredrik Gustafsson, Peter H. Veltink
Hand Pose Estimation by Fusion of Inertial and Magnetic Sensing Aided by a Permanent Magnet 780 530 Transactions on Neural Systems and Rehabilitation Engineering (TNSRE)

Tracking human body motions using inertial sensors has become a well-accepted method in ambulatory applications since the subject is not confined to a lab-bounded volume. However, a major drawback is…

Vibrotactile Stimulation Promotes Embodiment of an Alien Hand in Amputees With Phantom Sensations
Author(s)3: Marco D'Alonzo, Francesco Clemente, Christian Cipriani
Vibrotactile Stimulation Promotes Embodiment of an Alien Hand in Amputees With Phantom Sensations 556 235 Transactions on Neural Systems and Rehabilitation Engineering (TNSRE)

Abstract Tactile feedback is essential to intuitive control and to promote the sense of self-attribution of a prosthetic limb. Recent findings showed that amputees can be tricked to experience this embodiment, when synchronous…

Neural Control of a Tracking Task via Attention-Gated Reinforcement Learning for Brain-Machine Interfaces
Author(s)3: Yiwen Wang, Fang Wang, Kai Xu, Qiaosheng Zhang, Shaomin Zhang, Xiaoxiang Zheng
Neural Control of a Tracking Task via Attention-Gated Reinforcement Learning for Brain-Machine Interfaces 556 235 Transactions on Neural Systems and Rehabilitation Engineering (TNSRE)

Abstract Reinforcement learning (RL)-based brain machine interfaces (BMIs) enable the user to learn from the environment through interactions to complete the task without desired signals, which is promising for clinical applications. Previous studies exploited…
