Feature extraction in brain-computer interface (BCI) work is one of the most important issues that significantly affect the success of brain signal classification. A new electroencephalogram (EEG)… (More)
OBJECTIVE
To develop a modification of the pendulum test to allow evaluation of elbow spasticity.
DESIGN
The main difficulties of directly applying the conventional pendulum test to the elbow were… (More)
A model of the muscle spindle was developed based on its anatomical structure. The model contains three intrafusal fibers (bag1, bag2, and chain), two efferents (dynamic γ efferent to the bag1 fiber… (More)
Accurate automatic spike detection is highly beneficial to clinical assessment of epileptic electroencephalogram (EEG) data. In this paper, a new two-stage approach is proposed for epileptic spike… (More)
Spasticity after a stroke is usually assessed in a score form by subjectively determining the resistance of a joint to an externally imposed passive movement. This work presents a spasticity… (More)
BACKGROUND
High frequency stimulation (HFS) on the hippocampus can locally suppress epileptiform activity in-vitro and decrease seizure frequency in vivo. In-vitro HFS on the ventral commissural… (More)
We report a case with a sequential appearance and disappearance of homonymous hemianopsia, palinopsia and metamorphopsia in the defective visual field within two days. She had a stroke nine months… (More)
The ionic polymer–metal composite (IPMC) is one type of electro-active materials with the characteristics of low electric driving potential, large eformation and aquatic manipulation. It is highly… (More)
This paper develops an assistive torque system which uses homogeneic surface electromyogram (EMG) signals to improve the elbow torque capability of stroke patients by applying an external… (More)
The objective of this study is to develop a portable device for quantifying the velocity-dependent properties of spastic elbow muscles. Based on a motor-driven system, validation tests of the… (More)
