Monitoring a Realistic Virtual Hand using a Passive Haptic Device to Interact with Virtual Worlds [PDF]

, 2012
We present a prototype of a hands-on immersive peripheral device for controlling a virtual hand with high dexterity. This prototype is as easy as a mouse to use and allows the control of a high number of degrees of freedom (dofs) with tactile feedback.

Reciprocal control of viral infection and phosphoinositide dynamics

FEBS Letters, EarlyView.
Phosphoinositides, although scarce, regulate key cellular processes, including membrane dynamics and signaling. Viruses exploit these lipids to support their entry, replication, assembly, and egress. The central role of phosphoinositides in infection highlights phosphoinositide metabolism as a promising antiviral target.

Sensory feedback and the impaired motor system [PDF]

Journal of Medical Systems, 1990
A group design study was carried out using regulated feedback to enhance functional recovery in stroke patients. Patients trained on three computerized tasks aimed at improving guided limb motion in the hemiplegic arm. The therapeutic group was able to make use of the sensory feedback to outperform the control group in each of the three tasks.

Protein pyrophosphorylation by inositol pyrophosphates — detection, function, and regulation

FEBS Letters, EarlyView.
Protein pyrophosphorylation is an unusual signaling mechanism that was discovered two decades ago. It can be driven by inositol pyrophosphate messengers and influences various cellular processes. Herein, we summarize the research progress and challenges of this field, covering pathways found to be regulated by this posttranslational modification as ...

Midfrontal theta transcranial alternating current stimulation modulates behavioural adjustment after error execution [PDF]

, 2018
Cognitive control during conflict monitoring, error processing, and post-error adjustment appear to be associated with the occurrence of midfrontal theta (MFϴ).

Ideas on sensory feedback in hand prostheses [PDF]

Prosthetics & Orthotics International, 1979
Development of systems for sensory feedback in hand prostheses has not been as successful as that of modern prosthesis control systems. The discrepancy is partly caused by an insufficient analysis of the concept of sensory feedback and by neglect of knowledge on the physiology of kinesthesis.

Structural biology of ferritin nanocages

FEBS Letters, EarlyView.
Ferritin is a conserved iron‐storage protein that sequesters iron as a ferric mineral core within a nanocage, protecting cells from oxidative damage and maintaining iron homeostasis. This review discusses ferritin biology, structure, and function, and highlights recent cryo‐EM studies revealing mechanisms of ferritinophagy, cellular iron uptake, and ...

Media Presence and Inner Presence: The Sense of Presence in Virtual Reality Technologies [PDF]

, 2006
. Presence is widely accepted as the key concept to be considered in any research involving human interaction with Virtual Reality (VR). Since its original description, the concept of presence has developed over the past decade to be considered by many ...

Sensory Feedback in Upper Limb Prostheses [PDF]

Proceedings of the Latvian Academy of Sciences. Section B. Natural, Exact, and Applied Sciences., 2020
Abstract Loss of an arm is a devastating condition that can cross all socioeconomic groups. A major step forward in rehabilitation of amputees has been the development of myoelectric prostheses. Current robotic arms allow voluntary movements by using residual muscle contraction.
