Within a family system, there are oscillatory phenomena and synchronization of the emotional, behavioral and relational rhythms of each member of the family system as well as synchronization of this system with others. A disruption of family synchronies, consisting of successive desynchronizations and resynchronizations, can take place in order for a change to occur. We created a mobile team for preadolescents and adolescents with psychological difficulties and their families; this mobile team enables to trigger a change by acting on the family synchronies like a ‘social zeitgeber’, i.e. an external factor synchronizing social and </span>biological rhythms. The mobile team acts by disrupting the synchronies of the family system and this disruption is facilitated by a state of crisis experienced by the family. More specifically, the mobile team intervention provokes changes in the family representations associated with changes in the family emotional climate, measured by expressed emotion, due to disruptions in the synchronization of certain rhythms (desynchronization and then resynchronization of these rhythms), and could therefore be considered as a ‘social zeitgeber’. It creates an experience that becomes part of the individual’s and family’s history and could be reactivated in the future if necessary. Finally, it allows the family and the adolescent with difficulties to reach new perspectives and representations which participates to the process of change, but also to benefit at the same time from a secure basis and frame created by the (re)synchronization of family emotions through the intervention of the mobile team following a ritualized procedure.</p></div>","PeriodicalId":50087,"journal":{"name":"Journal of Physiology-Paris","volume":"110 4","pages":"Pages 480-486"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2016-11-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"https://sci-hub-pdf.com/10.1016/j.jphysparis.2017.07.001","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"35153246","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}

BCI users generally alternate between No-Control (NC) and Intentional Control (IC) periods. NC/IC discrimination is crucial for clinical BCIs, particularly when they provide neural control over complex effectors such as exoskeletons. Numerous BCI decoders focus on the estimation of continuously-valued limb trajectories from neural signals. The integration of NC support into continuous decoders is investigated in the present article. Most discrete/continuous BCI hybrid decoders rely on static state models which don’t exploit the dynamic of NC/IC state succession. A hybrid decoder, referred to as Markov Switching Linear Model (MSLM), is proposed in the present article. The MSLM assumes that the NC/IC state sequence is generated by a first-order Markov chain, and performs dynamic NC/IC state detection. Linear continuous movement models are probabilistically combined using the NC and IC state posterior probabilities yielded by the state decoder. The proposed decoder is evaluated for the task of asynchronous wrist position decoding from high dimensional space-time-frequency ElectroCorticoGraphic (ECoG) features in monkeys. The MSLM is compared with another dynamic hybrid decoder proposed in the literature, namely a Switching Kalman Filter (SKF). A comparison is additionally drawn with a Wiener filter decoder which infers NC states by thresholding trajectory estimates. The MSLM decoder is found to outperform both the SKF and the thresholded Wiener filter decoder in terms of False Positive Ratio and NC/IC state detection error. It additionally surpasses the SKF with respect to the Pearson Correlation Coefficient and Root Mean Squared Error between true and estimated continuous trajectories.</p></div>","PeriodicalId":50087,"journal":{"name":"Journal of Physiology-Paris","volume":"110 4","pages":"Pages 348-360"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2016-11-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"https://sci-hub-pdf.com/10.1016/j.jphysparis.2017.03.002","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"34807828","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}

An increasingly promising approach to sensory restoration is to electrically stimulate neurons along the somatosensory neuraxis to convey information about the state of the prosthetic limb and about contact with objects. To date, efforts toward artificial sensory feedback have consisted mainly of demonstrating that some sensory information could be conveyed using a small number of stimulation patterns, generally delivered through single electrodes. However impressive these achievements are, results from different studies are hard to compare, as each research team implements different stimulation patterns and tests the elicited sensations differently. A critical question is whether different stimulation strategies will generalize from contrived laboratory settings to activities of daily living.

However, physiological and/or recording-related nonstationarities in neural signals can limit long-term decoding stability, and it would be tedious for users to pause use of the BCI whenever neural control degrades to perform decoder recalibration routines. We recently demonstrated that a kinematic decoder (i.e. a decoder that controls cursor movement) can be recalibrated using data acquired during practical point-and-click control of the BCI by retrospectively inferring users’ intended movement directions based on their subsequent selections. Here, we extend these methods to allow the <em>click</em> decoder to also be recalibrated using data acquired during practical BCI use. We retrospectively labeled neural data patterns as corresponding to “click” during all time bins in which the click log-likelihood (decoded using linear discriminant analysis, or LDA) had been above the click threshold that was used during real-time neural control. We labeled as “non-click” those periods that the kinematic decoder’s retrospective target inference (RTI) heuristics determined to be consistent with intended cursor movement. Once these neural activity patterns were labeled, the click decoder was calibrated using standard supervised classifier training methods. Combined with real-time bias correction and baseline firing rate tracking, this set of “retrospectively labeled” decoder calibration methods enabled a BrainGate participant with amyotrophic lateral sclerosis (T9) to type freely across 11 research sessions spanning 29<!--> <!-->days, maintaining high-performance neural control over cursor movement and click without needing to interrupt virtual keyboard use for explicit calibration tasks.

During childhood, this playful dynamic challenges developing visuospatial abilities and requires temporal coordination between partners. As such, we address synchrony as form of communication and social signal per se, that leads, from an experience of similarity, to the interconnection of minds. In this way, we argue that, from a developmental perspective, rhythmic interpersonal coordination through childhood imitative interactions serves as a precursor to higher- level social and cognitive abilities, such as theory of mind (TOM) and empathy. Finally, to clinically illustrate our idea, we focus on developmental coordination disorder (DCD), a condition characterized not only by learning difficulties, but also childhood deficits in motor imitation.
