However, developing model-based predictions of optimal strategies can be challenging due to the high-dimensionality of the control space and challenges associated with optimizing potentially conflicting objectives. Here, we present a framework for simulating bipedal gait which can ultimately be used predictive simulations of optimal gait patterns. We modeled a human-like biped and a treadmill in Matlab Simscape and used Dynamical Movement Primitives (DMP) to generate control joint-level controllers from demonstrations of human walking. DMPs facilitate the optimization of gait patterns through a small number of free parameters, such as the amplitude and timing of the patterns. We also implemented a simple feedback controller that variated the amplitude of the DMPs to stabilize the biped based on the deviation from a reference point on the treadmill. Optimizing of this controller allowed us to generate a human-like gait and ultimately contributed to the development of a platform with which we can explore optimization principles during locomotion.","PeriodicalId":356177,"journal":{"name":"2019 9th International IEEE/EMBS Conference on Neural Engineering (NER)","volume":"2 3","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2019-03-20","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"121017469","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Meditation has been used for cognitive enhancement, rehabilitation and reducing stress and anxiety. In the present study, we are doing a comparative analysis between various levels of meditators based on EEG as psychophysiological indicator; and possibility of EEG as a neurofeedback for meditators. An analytical experiment on three categories of subjects (A: an expert meditator, B: five moderate meditators and C: five non-meditators) was done. Each subject was guided to perform two visual tasks; first to sit relaxed with eyes closed (REC) and second to gaze on a dot on screen (RDOT); supplied, EEG being recorded in parallel. The first subject was recorded with absorbed state of meditation (Samādhi). For psychophysiological analysis, wavelet transform based features from each recording of EEG was evaluated. Topographical mapping of brain functioning based on features were plotted and analyzed. It was observed that theta, alpha and beta were comparatively higher for expert meditator in frontal and central region during REC and RDOT. Also, during absorbed meditative state, the alpha and beta are higher at midline central region (Cz) and theta is higher at C3 and C4.","PeriodicalId":356177,"journal":{"name":"2019 9th International IEEE/EMBS Conference on Neural Engineering (NER)","volume":"59 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2019-03-20","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"122887486","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

However, there are not portable and flexible NP devices capable of fulfilling the requirements of different rehabilitation scenarios. In this work, the novel and flexible H-GAIT NP for lower limbs training and compensation is presented. This NP is able to detect four subphases of gait cycle and provide configurable surface stimulation patterns at each subphase. The H-GAIT NP can stimulate 4 independent channels for each subphase, allowing to reproduce diverse muscle activation patterns that can be needed in different rehabilitation scenarios. In order to validate the concept, several tests were carried on with 5 neuromuscularly intact participants and three different gait speeds in order to validate detection of the subphases. The algorithm showed an acceptable performance (over 95 % of gait subphases successfully detected in all cases at three different gait speeds (0.7, 0.85, and 0.97 m/s). The results were consistent among participants. To show the potential use of the NP in different rehabilitation scenarios, one stimulation profile was configured for hemiplegic gait compensation.","PeriodicalId":356177,"journal":{"name":"2019 9th International IEEE/EMBS Conference on Neural Engineering (NER)","volume":"254 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2019-03-20","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"114326068","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Previous EEG-based brain network analyses mainly focused on stroke-linked brain network in resting state and single aspect (globally or regionally), leaving the pattern of functional connectivity (FC) in stroke patients during specific motion task uncovered yet. In this study, we investigated stroke specific FC patterns in patients who suffered unilateral hemispheric stroke during a motor execution task. Partial correlation coefficients between multiple electroencephalography (EEG) channels were computed to construct the functional networks for healthy controls and stroke patients. The graph-based analysis was then performed to characterize specific FC patterns in stroke patients. Results suggested that brain networks were characterized in stroke patients by lower global efficiency and clustering coefficient in alpha and beta band, compared to healthy controls. Regionally, stroke patients exhibited weaker local connection in motor area of affected hemisphere during motor execution, which may explain their motor deficits. The findings of our study may offer new insight to study the neural plasticity and brain reorganization after stroke.","PeriodicalId":356177,"journal":{"name":"2019 9th International IEEE/EMBS Conference on Neural Engineering (NER)","volume":"163 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2019-03-20","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"116635622","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Functional brain network during interictal and ictal periods were constructed based on the computed PDC values, from which two graph-based measures, including the degree and clustering coefficient were extracted to assess the functional connectivity in seizure-linked network. Results showed that, compared to interictal period, the regional degree at the center lobe in delta band during the ictal period was significantly reduced. On the contrary, the clustering coefficients in delta band during the ictal period were significantly increased in the frontal, parietal, and temporal lobes. Our findings therefore suggest that ictal state may affect the visual, physical, mental, auditory, and other functions in epileptic children, providing a new perspective to explore the brain network alterations in children with epilepsy.","PeriodicalId":356177,"journal":{"name":"2019 9th International IEEE/EMBS Conference on Neural Engineering (NER)","volume":"75 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2019-03-20","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"115030076","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Voltage sensitive dye imaging (VSDI) images brain activity with low temporal delays, but the raw signal has a poor signal to noise ratio.An important pre–processing step for many biomedical imaging techniques is image registration and motion compensation. We can apply motion compensation successfully for optical imaging of intrinsic signals but VSDI recordings have low spatial contrast and often do not contain fine grained texture details which are crucial for successful image based motion compensation. In this work, we design a semi–synthetic dataset based on real recordings and a dummy voltage sensitive dye response for the evaluation of advanced motion compensation strategies for VSDI. This dataset aims to be used as a benchmark for the development of novel motion compensation strategies for VSDI and to derive error bounds of the methodologies with respect to motion.","PeriodicalId":356177,"journal":{"name":"2019 9th International IEEE/EMBS Conference on Neural Engineering (NER)","volume":"12 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2019-03-20","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"115473976","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

BMIs that are kinematically redundant allow for many viable solutions for the same task. While natural motor control involves the coordinated movements of kinematically redundant limbs, it is unclear how the brain might control the redundant degrees of freedom (DOF) in a BMI. In this study, we analyze a previously collected dataset where a macaque controlled a 4 DOF virtual arm in 2D space. A Kalman filter was used to decode neural signals from motor cortices into the four joint angle velocities. The monkey was instructed to move the virtual arm from a center target to eight peripheral targets, distributed evenly around a circle in a self-initiated center-out task. The monkey was able to achieve high accuracy in the task in the first day, but reach times continued to decrease over learning and endpoint trajectories became more stereotyped. We found that the neural activity fired in more correlated patterns over days with increased firing rates, suggesting a consolidation of neural activity into a high-level representation of the joint angles, optimizing endpoint control.","PeriodicalId":356177,"journal":{"name":"2019 9th International IEEE/EMBS Conference on Neural Engineering (NER)","volume":"33 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2019-03-20","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"122680317","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
