Consensus for experimental design in electromyography (CEDE) project: Applica...
Sunday, July 28, 2024
Skeletal muscles power movement. Deriving the forces produced by individual muscles has applications across various fields including biomechanics, robotics, and rehabilitation. Since direct in vivo measurement of muscle force in humans is invasive and challenging, its estimation through non-invas... .. read more..
Estimation of Gait Parameters in Huntington's Disease Using Wearable Sensors ...
Friday, May 31, 2024
In Huntington's disease (HD), wearable inertial sensors could capture subtle changes in motor function. However, disease-specific validation of methods is necessary. This study presents an algorithm for walking bout and gait event detection in HD using a leg-worn accelerometer, validated only in ... .. read more..

Impact of Network Topology on Neural Synchrony in a Model of the Subthalamic ...
Monday, December 25, 2023
Synchronous neural oscillations within the beta frequency range are observed across the parkinsonian basal ganglia network, including within the subthalamic nucleus (STN) - globus pallidus (GPe) subcircuit. The emergence of pathological synchrony in Parkinson's disease is often attributed to chan... .. read more..
Multivariable closed-loop control of deep brain stimulation for Parkinson's d...
Thursday, September 21, 2023
Objective. Closed-loop deep brain stimulation (DBS) methods for Parkinson's disease (PD) to-date modulate either stimulation amplitude or frequency to control a single biomarker. While good performance has been demonstrated for symptoms that are correlated with the chosen biomarker, suboptimal re... .. read more..
Micromotion Derived Fluid Shear Stress Mediates Peri-Electrode Gliosis throug...
Sunday, July 30, 2023
The development of bioelectronic neural implant technologies has advanced significantly over the past 5 years, particularly in brain-machine interfaces and electronic medicine. However, neuroelectrode-based therapies require invasive neurosurgery and can subject neural tissues to micromotion-indu... .. read more..
Waist-What? Can a single sensor positioned at the waist detect parameters of ...
Thursday, June 8, 2023
One of the problems facing an ageing population is functional decline associated with reduced levels of physical activity (PA). Traditionally researcher or clinician input is necessary to capture parameters of gait or PA. Enabling older adults to monitor their activity independently could raise t... .. read more..
