Discovering optimal features for neuron-type identification from extracellular recordings

Advancements in multichannel recordings of single-unit activity (SUA) in vivo present an opportunity to discover novel features of spatially-varying extracellularly-recorded action potentials (EAPs) that are useful for identifying neuron-types. Traditional approaches to classifying neuron-types often rely on computing EAP waveform features based on conventions of single-channel recordings and thus inherit their limitations. However, spatiotemporal EAP […]

Towards Human-like Walking with Biomechanical and Neuromuscular Control Features: Personalized Attachment Point Optimization Method of Cable-Driven Exoskeleton

The cable-driven exoskeleton can avoid joint misalignment, and is substantial alterations in the pattern of muscle synergy coordination, which arouse more attention in recent years to facilitate exercise for older adults and improve their overall quality of life. This study leverages principles from neuroscience and biomechanical analysis to select attachment points for cable-driven soft exoskeletons. […]
