Proposal for Hemiplegic Thumb Rehabilitation Device Based on Repetitive Facilitation Exercise

Machines
In this paper, we propose a thumb rehabilitation device based on the concept of Repetitive Facilitation Exercise (RFE) therapy. Our device only uses rapid passive stretching to the extensor muscle to induce a stretch reflex as a facilitative stimulation.

An Efficient Biological Codon Recognition Reservoir Computing System Based on Low‐Energy Epitaxial Hf0.52Zr0.48O2 Ferroelectric Memristors

Advanced Science, EarlyView.
This work reports on epitaxially grown Hf0.52Zr0.48O2 ferroelectric memristors with high stability (high durability exceeding 108 cycles and a retention time exceeding 104 s for 16 states) and ultra‐low operating energy consumption (∼121 fJ). A memristor array‐based reservoir computing system is constructed and applied for the first time in the field ...

Normalization reduces the spatial dependency of the jaw-stretch reflex activity in the human masseter muscle

, 2010
The jaw-stretch reflex is the short-latency response in the jaw-closing muscles after a sudden stretch. The hypothesis whether normalization of the jaw-stretch reflex amplitude with respect to prestimulus electromyographic (EMG) activity will make the ...

Making Sweat Measurable: Induction, Sampling, and Refreshment in Wearable Biofluid Sensing

Advanced Science, EarlyView.
Wearable sweat sensing relies not only on chemical detection but also on controlled biofluid management. This Review integrates sweat physiology, induction strategies, and microfluidic sampling architectures, demonstrating how flux, transport, and refreshment shape measurement reliability.

Task-dependent modulation of stretch reflex stiffness in the ankle

, 2002
The stretch reflex is an involuntary contraction produced in response to muscle stretch. Despite extensive research, its role in the control of movement and posture remains controversial.

Tongue reflex for speech posture control

Scientific Reports
Although there is no doubt from an empirical viewpoint that reflex mechanisms can contribute to tongue motor control in humans, there is limited neurophysiological evidence to support this idea.

Photonic‐Enabled Energy‐Efficient Transparent Neuromorphic Computing Devices: A Review

Advanced Science, EarlyView.
Transparent photonic neuromorphic computing devices merge optics and brain‐inspired computing to overcome von Neumann bottlenecks with ultrafast, low‐energy processing. By exploiting transparent oxides, 2D materials, phase‐change materials, and hybrid heterostructures, these platforms enable photonic synapses, memory, and logic for see‐through edge ...

Functional organisation of anterior thoracic stretch receptors in the deep-sea isopod Bathynomus doederleini: Behavioural, morphological and physiological studies [PDF]

, 2001
The relationship between segmental mobility and the organisation of thoracic stretch receptors was examined in the deep-sea isopod Bathynomus doederleini, which shows a developed adaptive behaviour during digging. The movements of segments during digging
