A hierarchical neural stimulation model for pain relief by variation of coil design parameters [PDF]

arXiv, 2016
Neural stimulation represents a powerful technique for neural disorder treatment. This paper deals with optimization of coil design parameters to be used during stimulation for modulation of neuronal firing to achieve pain relief. Pain mechanism is briefly introduced and a hierarchical stimulation model from coil stimulation to neuronal firing is ...

Vestibular inputs to premotor interneurons in the feline C1-C2 spinal cord [PDF]

, 2005
The resting length of respiratory muscles must be altered during changes in posture in order to maintain stable ventilation. Prior studies showed that although the vestibular system contributes to these adjustments in respiratory muscle activity, the ...

Vibrotactile versus Visual Stimulation in Learning the Piano [PDF]

arXiv
Vibrotactile stimulation has been explored to accelerate the acquisition of motor skills involving finger movements (Gemicioglu et al. 2022, Markow et al. 2010, Seim et al. 2017). This study evaluates the effectiveness of vibrotactile stimulation compared to visual feedback in learning a 14-note one-handed tune on the piano.

Auditory Cortex Basal Activity Modulates Cochlear Responses in Chinchillas [PDF]

, 2012
Background: The auditory efferent system has unique neuroanatomical pathways that connect the cerebral cortex with sensory receptor cells. Pyramidal neurons located in layers V and VI of the primary auditory cortex constitute descending projections to ...

WAND: A 128-channel, closed-loop, wireless artifact-free neuromodulation device [PDF]

arXiv, 2017
Closed-loop neuromodulation systems aim to treat a variety of neurological conditions by dynamically delivering and adjusting therapeutic electrical stimulation in response to a patient's neural state, recorded in real-time. Existing systems are limited by low channel counts, lack of algorithmic flexibility, and distortion of recorded signals from ...

Non-Invasive Temporal Interference Electrical Stimulation for Spinal Cord Injury Rehabilitation: A Simulation Study [PDF]

arXiv
Background: Spinal cord injury (SCI) rehabilitation remains a major clinical challenge, with limited treatment options for functional recovery. Temporal interference (TI) electrical stimulation has emerged as a promising non-invasive neuromodulation technique capable of delivering deep and targeted stimulation.

Complex hemodynamic responses to trans-vascular electrical stimulation of the renal nerve in anesthetized pigs [PDF]

arXiv
The objective of this study was to characterize hemodynamic changes during trans-vascular stimulation of the renal nerve and their dependence on stimulation parameters. We employed a stimulation catheter inserted in the right renal artery under fluoroscopic guidance, in pigs.

StimDust: A mm-scale implantable wireless precision neural stimulator with ultrasonic power and communication [PDF]

arXiv, 2018
Neural stimulation is a powerful technique for modulating physiological functions and for writing information into the nervous system as part of brain-machine interfaces. Current clinically approved neural stimulators require batteries and are many cubic centimetres in size -- typically much larger than their intended targets.

Influences of the Menstrual Cycle on Sacroiliac Joint Dysfunction [PDF]

, 1998
Sacroiliac joint dysfunction is a common but many times untreated contributor to low back pain. The female population in particular is more likely than their male counterparts to injure the sacroiliac joint.

Stimulation-based control of dynamic brain networks [PDF]

arXiv, 2016
The ability to modulate brain states using targeted stimulation is increasingly being employed to treat neurological disorders and to enhance human performance. Despite the growing interest in brain stimulation as a form of neuromodulation, much remains unknown about the network-level impact of these focal perturbations. To study the system wide impact
