Artificial limb representation in amputees [PDF]

open access: yesBrain, 2018
The human brain contains multiple hand-selective areas, in both the sensorimotor and visual systems. Could our brain repurpose neural resources, originally developed for supporting hand function, to represent and control artificial limbs? We studied individuals with congenital or acquired hand-loss (hereafter one-handers) using functional MRI.

Neural correlates of the rubber hand illusion in amputees: a report of two cases [PDF]

open access: yes, 2014
One of the current challenges in the field of advanced prosthetics is the development of artificial limbs that provide the user with detailed sensory feedback. Sensory feedback from our limbs is not only important for proprioceptive awareness and motor

Effect of a unilateral hind limb orthotic lift on upper body movement symmetry in the trotting horse [PDF]

open access: yes, 2018
In trotting horses, movement asymmetry is associated with ground reaction force asymmetry. In humans, limb length differences influence contralateral force production. Here we investigate whether horses, in immediate reaction to limb length changes, show

Analysing co-evolution among artificial 3D creatures [PDF]

open access: yes, 2006
This paper is concerned with the analysis of coevolutionary dynamics among 3D artificial creatures, similar to those introduced by Sims (1). Coevolution is subject to complex dynamics which are notoriously difficult to analyse.
