Clinical utility of contact heat evoked potentials (CHEPs) in a case of mentalis nerve lesion
Objective: Nociceptive evoked potentials are still infrequently used in electrodiagnostic studies of single patients. We report a case in which the results of contact heat evoked potentials (CHEPs) provided unique information for the diagnosis.

The pupil reflects motor preparation for saccades - even before the eye starts to move
The eye produces saccadic eye movements which show the shortest reaction times in humans. Saccade latencies reflect ongoing cortical processing and, generally, shorter latencies are supposed to reflect advanced motor preparation.

The Role of Different Organism, Task and Environment Constraints in Coincidence Anticipation Timing Accuracy [PDF]
Perceptual-motor skills play a vital role in many tasks of daily life and sports skills. The measurement of coincidence anticipation timing ability is a method to evaluate perceptual and perceptual-motor skills.

Cerebellum to motor cortex paired associative stimulation induces bidirectional STDP-like plasticity in human motor cortex [PDF]
The cerebellum is crucially important for motor control and adaptation. Recent non-invasive brain stimulation studies have indicated the possibility to alter the excitability of the cerebellum and its projections to the contralateral motor cortex, with ...

Sensorless Direct Field-Oriented Control of Three-Phase Induction Motor Drives for Low-Cost Applications [PDF]
A sensorless direct rotor field-oriented control (SDRFOC) scheme of three-phase induction motors for low-cost applications is presented in this paper. The SDRFOC algorithm is based on a sensorless closed-loop rotor flux observer whose main advantages are

Change-Point Detection of Peak Tibial Acceleration in Overground Running Retraining
A method is presented for detecting changes in the axial peak tibial acceleration while adapting to self-discovered lower-impact running. Ten runners with high peak tibial acceleration were equipped with a wearable auditory biofeedback system.

Position-sensorless control of permanent-magnet-assisted synchronous reluctance motor [PDF]
The sensorless control of permanent-magnet-assisted synchronous reluctance (PMASR) motors is investigated, in order to conjugate the advantages of the sensorless control with full exploitation of the allowed operating area, for a given inverter.

High-order sliding mode control of a DC motor drive via a switched controlled multi-cellular converter [PDF]
In this article, we present a high-order sliding mode controller of a DC motor drive connected to a multi-cellular converter. More specifically, we design a second-order (super-twisting) control algorithm for the speed regulation of a DC motor. For this,
