FORCe: Fully Online and Automated Artifact Removal for Brain-Computer Interfacing 780 858 Transactions on Neural Systems and Rehabilitation Engineering (TNSRE)

FORCe: Fully Online and Automated Artifact Removal for Brain-Computer Interfacing
Author(s)3: Ian Daly, Reinhold Scherer, Martin Billinger, Gernot Muller-Putz

A fully automated and online artifact removal method for the electroencephalogram (EEG) is developed for use in braincomputer interfacing (BCI). The method (FORCe) is based upon a novel combination of…

Vibrotactile Stimulation Promotes Embodiment of an Alien Hand in Amputees With Phantom Sensations 556 235 Transactions on Neural Systems and Rehabilitation Engineering (TNSRE)

Vibrotactile Stimulation Promotes Embodiment of an Alien Hand in Amputees With Phantom Sensations
Author(s)3: Marco D'Alonzo, Francesco Clemente, Christian Cipriani

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 556 235 Transactions on Neural Systems and Rehabilitation Engineering (TNSRE)

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

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…

Hierarchy of Neural Organization in the Embryonic Spinal Cord: Granger-Causality Graph Analysis of In Vivo Calcium Imaging Data 556 235 Transactions on Neural Systems and Rehabilitation Engineering (TNSRE)

Hierarchy of Neural Organization in the Embryonic Spinal Cord: Granger-Causality Graph Analysis of In Vivo Calcium Imaging Data
Author(s)3: Fabrizio De Vico Fallani, Martina Corazzol, Jenna R. Sternberg, Claire Wyart, Mario Chavez

Abstract The recent development of genetically encoded calcium indicators enables monitoring in vivo the activity of neuronal populations. Most analysis of these calcium transients relies on linear regression analysis based on the sensory…

Running With a Powered Knee and Ankle Prosthesis 556 235 Transactions on Neural Systems and Rehabilitation Engineering (TNSRE)

Running With a Powered Knee and Ankle Prosthesis
Author(s)3: Brian E. Lawson, Michael Goldfarb, Amanda H. Schultz

Abstract This paper presents a running control architecture for a powered knee and ankle prosthesis that enables a transfemoral amputee to run with a biomechanically appropriate running gait and to intentionally transition between…

Fine-Wire Electromyography Response to Neuromuscular Electrical Stimulation in the Triceps Surae 556 235 Transactions on Neural Systems and Rehabilitation Engineering (TNSRE)

Fine-Wire Electromyography Response to Neuromuscular Electrical Stimulation in the Triceps Surae
Author(s)3: Paul P. Breen, Anand V Nene, Gearóid ÓLaighin, Pierce A. Grace

Abstract Neuromuscular electrical stimulation (NMES) has previously been used to enhance venous return from the lower leg. By artificially activating lower leg muscles, venous blood may be effectively ejected from…

Optimizing the Electrical Stimulation of Retinal Ganglion Cells 556 235 Transactions on Neural Systems and Rehabilitation Engineering (TNSRE)

Optimizing the Electrical Stimulation of Retinal Ganglion Cells
Author(s)3: A.E. Hadjinicolaou, C. O. Savage, N. V. Apollo, D.J. Garrett, S. L. Cloherty, M. R. Ibbotson, B. J. O'Brien

Abstract Epiretinal prostheses aim to restore visual perception in the blind through electrical stimulation of surviving retinal ganglion cells (RGCs). While the effects of several waveform parameters (e.g., phase duration)…
