Innervation Zones of Fasciculating Motor Units: Observations by a Linear Electrode Array
Frontiers in Human Neuroscience, 2015 This study examines the innervation zone (IZ) in the biceps brachii muscle in normal subjects and those with amyotrophic lateral sclerosis (ALS) using a 20-channel linear electromyogram (EMG) electrode array.

Uncertainty of feedback and state estimation determines the speed of motor adaptation
Frontiers in Computational Neuroscience, 2010 Humans can adapt their motor behaviors to deal with ongoing changes. To achieve this, the nervous system needs to estimate central variables for our movement based on past knowledge and new feedback, both of which are uncertain. In the Bayesian framework,

Motor Output Variability Impairs Driving Ability in Older Adults [PDF]
, 2016 Background: The functional declines with aging relate to deficits in motor control and strength. In this study, we determine whether older adults exhibit impaired driving as a consequence of declines in motor control or strength. Methods: Young and older

Detection and Diagnosis of Motor Stator Faults using Electric Signals from Variable Speed Drives [PDF]
, 2015 Motor current signature analysis has been investigated widely for diagnosing faults of induction motors. However, most of these studies are based on open loop drives.

Learning new movements after paralysis: Results from a home-based study
Scientific Reports, 2017 Body-machine interfaces (BMIs) decode upper-body motion for operating devices, such as computers and wheelchairs. We developed a low-cost portable BMI for survivors of cervical spinal cord injury and investigated it as a means to support personalized ...

The Aging Neuromuscular System and Motor Performance [PDF]
, 2016 Age-related changes in the basic functional unit of the neuromuscular system, the motor unit, and its neural inputs have a profound effect on motor function, especially among the expanding number of old (older than ∼60 yr) and very old (older than ∼80 yr)

Schizophrenia Spectrum Disorders: Linking Motor and Process Skills, Sensory Patterns, and Psychiatric Symptoms [PDF]
, 2020 Background: Consistent evidence suggests sensory abnormalities and skill deficits in people with Schizophrenia Spectrum Disorder (SSD). Further exploration of their sensory patterns and performance skills is warranted to promote community participation ...

Online optimal flux-weakening control of permanent-magnet brushless AC drives [PDF]
, 2000 An enhanced online optimal control strategy, which maximizes the flux-weakening performance of a brushless AC motor, is described, and applied to motors having different rotor topologies: interior (radial or circumferential), inset, and surface-mounted ...
