Objective. Consistently changing physiological properties in developing children's brains challenges new data heavy technologies, like brain-computer interfaces (BCI). Advancing signal processing methods in such technologies to be more…
Natural control of limb motion is continuous and progressively adaptive to individual intent. While intuitive interfaces have the potential to rely on the neuromuscular input by the user for continuous adaptation, continuous volitional…
Cognition is supported by neurophysiological processes that occur both in local anatomical neighborhoods and in distributed large-scale circuits. Recent evidence from network control theory suggests that white matter pathways linking…
Alzheimer's disease involves progressive tau accumulation and spread, leading to regional brain atrophy and disruption of large-scale functional networks. While tau propagation and tissue degeneration have been widely modeled, how atrophy…
Predicting how the brain can be driven to specific states by means of internal or external control requires a fundamental understanding of the relationship between neural connectivity and activity. Network control theory is a powerful tool…
Purpose: To evaluate reliability of upright CT for proton dose calculation and feasibility of a simplified phantom configuration for accelerated routine QA. Methods: A calibration phantom was scanned on an upright CT following consensus…
The Trail Making Test (TMT) is one of the most popular neuropsychological tests in the clinical assessment of executive functions (EF) and research in a wide range of clinical conditions. In addition to its sensitivity to executive…
The introduction of computing education into curricula worldwide requires multi-year assessments to evaluate the long-term impact on learning. However, no single Computational Thinking (CT) assessment spans primary school, and no group of…
Activity recognition computer vision algorithms can be used to detect the presence of autism-related behaviors, including what are termed "restricted and repetitive behaviors", or stimming, by diagnostic instruments. The limited data that…
The present study focused on the effects of trunk extensor muscles fatigue on postural control during quiet standing under different somatosensory conditions from the foot and the ankle. With this aim, 20 young healthy adults were asked to…
Closed-loop neural stimulation provides novel therapies for neurological diseases such as Parkinson's disease (PD), but it is not yet clear whether artificial intelligence (AI) techniques can tailor closed-loop stimulation to individual…
In recent years, the assessment of fundamental movement skills integrated with physical education has focused on both teaching practice and the feasibility of assessment. The object of assessment has shifted from multiple ages to subdivided…
While differences in patterns of functional connectivity and neural synchronization have been reported between individuals on the autism spectrum and neurotypical peers at various age stages, these differences appear to be subtle and may…
Adaptive control of Euler-Lagrange systems is challenging when friction is governed by a finite-horizon internal state that is not directly observable from joint measurements. In this setting, the measured closed-loop state is no longer…
Recovery after stroke is often incomplete, but rehabilitation training may potentiate recovery by engaging endogenous neuroplasticity. In preclinical models of stroke, high doses of rehabilitation training are required to restore functional…
Stroke is the leading cause of serious and long-term disability worldwide. Some studies have shown that motor imagery (MI) based BCI has a positive effect in poststroke rehabilitation. It could help patients promote the reorganization…
Functional Magnetic Resonance Imaging (fMRI) is an imaging technique widely used to study human brain activity. fMRI signals in areas across the brain transiently synchronise and desynchronise their activity in a highly structured manner,…
Objective: Closed-loop deep brain stimulation (DBS) may improve current clinical DBS treatment for neurological movement disorders, but control algorithms may perform differently across patients. New metrics are needed for comparing and…
Generalizability is an important problem in deep neural networks, especially in the context of the variability of data acquisition in clinical magnetic resonance imaging (MRI). Recently, the Spatially Localized Atlas Network Tiles (SLANT)…
Automated vehicles will allow occupants to engage in non-driving tasks, but limited visual cues will make them vulnerable to unexpected movements. These unpredictable perturbations create a "surprise factor," forcing the central nervous…
