LaminaRGeneVis: A Tool to Visualize Gene Expression Across the Laminar Architecture of the Human Neocortex

The application of RNA sequencing has enabled the characterization of genome-wide gene expression in the human brain, including distinct layers of the neocortex. Neuroanatomically, the molecular patterns that underlie the laminar organization of the neocortex can help link structure to circuitry and function. To advance our understanding of cortical architecture, we created LaminaRGeneVis, a web […]

Novel Hybrid Brain-Computer Interface for Virtual Reality Applications Using Steady-State Visual-Evoked Potential-Based Brain–Computer Interface and Electrooculogram-Based Eye Tracking for Increased Information Transfer Rate

Brain–computer interfaces (BCIs) based on electroencephalogram (EEG) have recently attracted increasing attention in virtual reality (VR) applications as a promising tool for controlling virtual objects or generating commands in a “hands-free” manner. Video-oculography (VOG) has been frequently used as a tool to improve BCI performance by identifying the gaze location on the screen, however, current […]

A Neural Controller Model Considering the Vestibulospinal Tract in Human Postural Control

Humans are able to control their posture in their daily lives. It is important to understand how this is achieved in order to understand the mechanisms that lead to impaired postural control in various diseases. The descending tracts play an important role in controlling posture, particularly the reticulospinal and the vestibulospinal tracts (VST), and there […]
