Performance Improvement of Near-Infrared Spectroscopy-based Brain-Computer Interfaces Using Transcranial Near-Infrared Photobiomodulation with the Same Device
Author(s)3: Jinuk Kwon, Chang-Hwan Im
Performance Improvement of Near-Infrared Spectroscopy-based Brain-Computer Interfaces Using Transcranial Near-Infrared Photobiomodulation with the Same Device 548 128 Transactions on Neural Systems and Rehabilitation Engineering (TNSRE)
Transcranial near-infrared photobiomodulation (tNIR-PBM) can modulate physiological characteristics of the human brain, such as the cerebral blood flow and oxidative metabolism. Here, we investigated whether the performance of near-infrared spectroscopy (NIRS)-based brain-computer interfaces (BCIs) can be improved by tNIR-PBM applied to the prefrontal cortex with the same NIRS device. read more

Non-invasive Ring Electrode with a Wireless Electrical Recording and Stimulating System for Monitoring Preterm Labor
Author(s)3: Yi Jae Lee, Changhyuk Lee, Eun Jin Wang, Dmytro Kotov, Hee Youn Kim, Jeong Ho Hwang, Ki Hoon Ahn, Soo Hyun Lee
Non-invasive Ring Electrode with a Wireless Electrical Recording and Stimulating System for Monitoring Preterm Labor 546 713 Transactions on Neural Systems and Rehabilitation Engineering (TNSRE)
Preterm labor and birth are the primary causes of neonatal morbidities and mortalities. The early detection and treatment of preterm uterine muscular contraction are crucial for the management of preterm labor. In this work, a ring electrode with a wireless electrical recording and stimulating (RE-WERS) system was designed, fabricated, and investigated for the noninvasive monitoring of uterine contraction/relaxation as a diagnostic and therapeutic tool for preterm labor. read more

Improved High-density Myoelectric Pattern Recognition Control Against Electrode Shift Using Data Augmentation and Dilated Convolutional Neural NetworkT
Author(s)3: Le Wu, Xu Zhang, Kun Wang, Xiang Chen, Xun Chen
Improved High-density Myoelectric Pattern Recognition Control Against Electrode Shift Using Data Augmentation and Dilated Convolutional Neural NetworkT 553 217 Transactions on Neural Systems and Rehabilitation Engineering (TNSRE)
The objective of this work is to develop a robust method for myoelectric control towards alleviating the in-terference of electrode shift. Methods: In the proposed method, a preprocessing approach was first performed to convert high-den-sity surface electromyogram (HD-sEMG) signals into a series of images, and the electrode shift appeared as pixel shift in these im-ages. read more

Task-space Synergies for Reaching using Upper-limb Prostheses
Author(s)3: Ricardo Garcia-Rosas, Denny Oetomo, Chris Manzie, Ying Tan, Peter Choong
Task-space Synergies for Reaching using Upper-limb Prostheses 672 207 Transactions on Neural Systems and Rehabilitation Engineering (TNSRE)
Synergistic prostheses enable the coordinated movement of the human-prosthetic arm, as required by activities of daily living. This is achieved by coupling the motion of the prosthesis to the human command, such as the residual limb movement in motion-based interfaces. read more
