Human Activity Recognition in a Free-Living Environment Using an Ear-Worn Motion Sensor

open access: yesSensors
Human activity recognition (HAR) technology enables continuous behavior monitoring, which is particularly valuable in healthcare. This study investigates the viability of using an ear-worn motion sensor for classifying daily activities, including lying ...

A mobile electrical stimulator for therapeutic modulation of the vestibular system — design, safety, and functionality

open access: yesFrontiers in Neurology
Low-intensity noisy galvanic vestibular stimulation (nGVS) is a promising non-invasive treatment for enhancing vestibular perceptual performance and postural control in patients with chronic vestibular hypofunction. However, this approach has so far been

Clinical Whole-Body Gait Characterization Using a Single RGB-D Sensor

open access: yesSensors
Instrumented gait analysis is widely used in clinical settings for the early detection of neurological disorders, monitoring disease progression, and evaluating fall risk. However, the gold-standard marker-based 3D motion analysis is limited by high time

Subjective spatial orientation discomfort is associated with decreased real-world spatial performance and lower cognitive function

open access: yesFrontiers in Neuroscience
BackgroundSpatial memory and orientation deficits often precede cognitive impairment in incipient dementia, e.g., Alzheimer’s disease. Therefore, early diagnosis of spatial impairment may be crucial to the initiation of an adequate therapeutic ...

Embryology : vertigo to vertigo.

open access: yes, 2021
In the 1970s the development of an embryo was seen as a problem that may be impossible to solve. Forty years later, molecular genetics have elucidated its explanatory principles and the new embryology calls for a refoundation of the theory of Evolution.

Effect of canalith repositioning on resting-state brain functional connectivity in patients with benign paroxysmal positional vertigo

open access: yesFrontiers in Neurology
ObjectiveTo compare the characteristics of resting-state functional connectivity (FC) before and after repositioning therapy in patients with benign paroxysmal positional vertigo (BPPV) using functional near-infrared spectroscopy (fNIRS).MethodsFifty ...

Multimodal MRI of the reorganization of multisensory and sensorimotor networks in chronic bilateral vestibulopathy

open access: yesNeuroImage
Chronic bilateral vestibulopathy (BVP) occurs preferably in elderly patients presenting with postural imbalance and head movement induced oscillopsia. The condition is often incomplete with residual functions in both ears. Beyond the vestibular reflexive

Impairment of human spatial orientation in the horizontal, but not the vertical plane, due to aging, cognitive decline, or chronic peripheral vestibular loss

open access: yesFrontiers in Aging Neuroscience
IntroductionHumans and other vertebrates exhibit anisotropic orientation and navigation skills, with better performances in the horizontal compared to the vertical plane. While horizontal navigation accuracy decreases with higher age, less is known about

Human senses and sensors from Aristotle to the present

open access: yesFrontiers in Neurology
This historical review on the semantic evolution of human senses and sensors revealed that Aristotle’s list of the five senses sight, hearing, touch, taste, and smell is still in use among non-scientific lay persons.
