Suppression of Subthalamic Nucleus Activity by Micromagnetic Stimulation 556 235 Transactions on Neural Systems and Rehabilitation Engineering (TNSRE)

Suppression of Subthalamic Nucleus Activity by Micromagnetic Stimulation
Author(s)3: Seung Woo Lee, Shelley L. Fried

Abstract Magnetic stimulation delivered via 0.5-mm diameter coils was recently shown to activate retinal neurons; the small coil size raises the possibility that micromagnetic stimulation (μMS) could underlie a new…

Cross-Comparison of Three Electromyogram Decomposition Algorithms Assessed With Experimental and Simulated Data 556 235 Transactions on Neural Systems and Rehabilitation Engineering (TNSRE)

Cross-Comparison of Three Electromyogram Decomposition Algorithms Assessed With Experimental and Simulated Data
Author(s)3: Chenyun Dai, Yejin Li, Anita Christie, Paolo Bonato, Kevin C. McGill, Edward A. Clancy

Abstract The reliability of clinical and scientific information provided by algorithms that automatically decompose the electromyogram (EMG) depends on the algorithms’ accuracies. We used experimental and simulated data to assess…

Enhanced Effective Connectivity in Mild Occipital Stroke Patients With Hemianopia 556 235 Transactions on Neural Systems and Rehabilitation Engineering (TNSRE)

Enhanced Effective Connectivity in Mild Occipital Stroke Patients With Hemianopia
Author(s)3: Xiaoli Guo, Zheng Jin, Xinyang Feng, Shanbao Tong

Abstract Plasticity-based spontaneous recovery and rehabilitation intervention of stroke-induced hemianopia have drawn great attention in recent years. However, the underlying neural mechanism remains unknown. This study aims to investigate brain…

Controlled Nerve Ablation With Direct Current: Parameters and Mechanisms 556 235 Transactions on Neural Systems and Rehabilitation Engineering (TNSRE)

Controlled Nerve Ablation With Direct Current: Parameters and Mechanisms
Author(s)3: Einat Ravid, Arthur Prochazka

Abstract Spastic hypertonus (muscle over-activity) often develops after spinal cord injury or stroke. Chemodenervating agents such as Botulinum toxin A (BtA) and phenol are often used to treat this condition.…
