A functional electrical stimulation system for human walking inspired by reflexive control principles [PDF]
, 2017 This study presents an innovative multichannel functional electrical stimulation gait-assist system which employs a well-established purely reflexive control algorithm, previously tested in a series of bipedal walking robots.

Brain-actuated functional electrical stimulation elicits lasting arm motor recovery after stroke
Nature Communications, 2018 Brain-computer interfaces (BCI) are used in stroke rehabilitation to translate brain signals into intended movements of the paralyzed limb. However, the efficacy and mechanisms of BCI-based therapies remain unclear.

Searching for plasticity in dissociated cortical cultures on multi-electrode arrays [PDF]
, 2006 We attempted to induce functional plasticity in dense cultures of cortical cells using stimulation through extracellular electrodes embedded in the culture dish substrate (multi-electrode arrays, or MEAs). We looked for plasticity expressed in changes in

Functional electrical stimulation on paraplegic patients
European Journal of Translational Myology, 2014 We report on clinical and physiological effects of 8 months Functional Electrical Stimulation (FES) of quadriceps femoris muscle on 16 paraplegic patients. Each patient had muscle biopsies, CT-muscle diameter measurements, knee extension strength testing

Electrical vs manual acupuncture stimulation in a rat model of polycystic ovary syndrome: different effects on muscle and fat tissue insulin signaling. [PDF]
PLoS ONE, 2013 In rats with dihydrotestosterone (DHT)-induced polycystic ovary syndrome (PCOS), repeated low-frequency electrical stimulation of acupuncture needles restores whole-body insulin sensitivity measured by euglycemic hyperinsulinemic clamp.

Multi-objective optimization via evolutionary algorithm (MOVEA) for high-definition transcranial electrical stimulation of the human brain [PDF]
NeuroImage, Volume 280, 2020, 2022 Designing a transcranial electrical stimulation (TES) strategy requires considering multiple objectives, such as intensity in the target area, focality, stimulation depth, and avoidance zone, which are often mutually exclusive. A computational framework for optimizing different strategies and comparing trade-offs between these objectives is currently ...
