Can vibrotactile stimulation and tDCS help inefficient BCI users?
Brain-computer interface (BCI) has helped people by allowing them to control a computer or machine through brain activity without actual body...

The (in)effectiveness of anticipatory vibrotactile cues in mitigating motion sickness
The introduction of (fully) automated vehicles has generated a re-interest in motion sickness, given that passengers suffer much more from motion...

Reduced Cerebellar Brain Inhibition and Vibrotactile Perception in Response to Mechanical Hand Stimulation at Flutter Frequency
The cerebellum is traditionally considered a movement control structure because of its established afferent and efferent anatomical and functional...

Extended training improves the accuracy and efficiency of goal-directed reaching guided by supplemental kinesthetic vibrotactile feedback
Prior studies have shown that the accuracy and efficiency of reaching can be improved using novel sensory interfaces to apply task-specific...

Alpha-band activity in parietofrontal cortex predicts future availability of vibrotactile feedback in prosthesis use
Prosthesis disuse and abandonment is an ongoing issue in upper-limb amputation. In addition to lost structural and motor function, amputation also...

Comparison of the effects of rhythmic vibrotactile stimulations and rhythmic auditory stimulations on Parkinson's disease patients’ gait variability: a pilot study
IntroductionParkinson’s disease patients’ gait is characterized by shorter step length, reduced gait velocity and deterioration of temporal...

Tactile spatial discrimination on the torso using vibrotactile and force stimulation
There is a steadily growing number of mobile communication systems that provide spatially encoded tactile information to the humans’ torso. However,...

The influence of rhythm on detection of auditory and vibrotactile asynchrony
The perception of an event is strongly influenced by the context in which it occurs. Here, we examined the effect of a rhythmic context on detection...

Effects of basal forebrain stimulation on the vibrotactile responses of neurons from the hindpaw representation in the rat SI cortex
Basal forebrain (BF) cholinergic system is important for attention and modulates sensory processing. We focused on the hindpaw representation in rat...

Sensory substitution of elbow proprioception to improve myoelectric control of upper limb prosthesis: experiment on healthy subjects and amputees
BackgroundCurrent myoelectric prostheses lack proprioceptive information and rely on vision for their control. Sensory substitution is increasingly...

Bayesian prediction of psychophysical detection responses from spike activity in the rat sensorimotor cortex
Decoding of sensorimotor information is essential for brain-computer interfaces (BCIs) as well as in normal functioning organisms. In this study,...

Comparison of peripersonal space in front and rear spaces
The space immediately around the body, referred to as the peripersonal space (PPS), plays a crucial role in interactions with external objects and in...
-
Wearable biofeedback device to assess gait features and improve gait pattern in people with parkinson’s disease: a case series
IntroductionPeople with Parkinson’s Disease (PD) show abnormal gait patterns compromising their independence and quality of life. Among all gait...
