Whole-Body Vibration Exercise in Different Postures on Handgrip Strength in Healthy Women: A Cross-Over Study

open access: yesFrontiers in Physiology, 2021
ObjectiveTo compare the effect of Whole-Body Vibration Exercise (WBVE) applied in push-up modified and half-squat positions, on handgrip strength (HS) and on the electromyography registry (EMGrms) of the flexor digitorum superficialis muscle (FDSM) of ...

Sensing of Substrate Vibrations in the Adult Cicada Okanagana rimosa (Hemiptera: Cicadidae) [PDF]

open access: yes, 2018
Detection of substrate vibrations is an evolutionarily old sensory modality and is important for predator detection as well as for intraspecific communication. In insects, substrate vibrations are detected mainly by scolopidial (chordotonal) sense organs

Bone-Anchored Hearing Aid Effects on Vestibular Function: A Preliminary Report. [PDF]

open access: yesAudiol Res
Objective: Cochlear receptors are sensitive to vibratory stimuli. Based on this sensibility, bone-anchored hearing aids have been introduced to correct unilateral or bilateral conductive or mixed hearing loss and unilateral deafness.

Prepontine non-giant neurons drive flexible escape behavior in zebrafish [PDF]

open access: yes, 2019
Many species execute ballistic escape reactions to avoid imminent danger. Despite fast reaction times, responses are often highly regulated, reflecting a trade-off between costly motor actions and perceived threat level.

The Effects of Bilateral Phase-Dependent Closed-Loop Vibration Stimulation With Motor Imagery Paradigm

open access: yesIEEE Transactions on Neural Systems and Rehabilitation Engineering, 2022
Vibration stimulation has been shown to have the potential to improve the activation pattern of unilateral motor imagery (MI) and to promote motor recovery.

The effect of surface wave propagation on neural responses to vibration in primate glabrous skin.

open access: yesPLoS ONE, 2012
Because tactile perception relies on the response of large populations of receptors distributed across the skin, we seek to characterize how a mechanical deformation of the skin at one location affects the skin at another.
