Forced Movements Facilitate Reversal Learning in Rats: Findings from a Rat Robotic Rehabilitation Model

Forced Movements Facilitate Reversal Learning in Rats: Findings from a Rat Robotic Rehabilitation Model 150 150 Transactions on Neural Systems and Rehabilitation Engineering (TNSRE)
To evaluate the effectiveness of robotic rehabilitation alone, we developed a robotic rehabilitation model for rats and investigated the effects of inducing forced response-like movements on learning a choice reaction… read more

Enhancing ERD Activation and Functional Connectivity via the Sixth-Finger Motor Imagery in Stroke Patients

Enhancing ERD Activation and Functional Connectivity via the Sixth-Finger Motor Imagery in Stroke Patients 150 150 Transactions on Neural Systems and Rehabilitation Engineering (TNSRE)
Motor imagery (MI) is widely employed in stroke rehabilitation due to the event-related desynchronization (ERD) phenomenon in sensorimotor cortex induced by MI is similar to actual movement. However, the traditional… read more
Comparison of average ERD/ERS of younger and older participants in the alpha-beta frequency band (8–26 Hz).
