Organic Electrochemical Transistors for Neuromorphic Devices and Applications

Advanced Materials, EarlyView.
Organic electrochemical transistors are emerging as promising platforms for neuromorphic devices that emulate neuronal and synaptic activities and can seamlessly integrate with biological systems. This review focuses on resultant organic artificial neurons, synapses, and integrated devices, with an emphasis on their ability to perform neuromorphic ...

Postural destabilization induced by trunk extensor muscles fatigue is suppressed by use of a plantar pressure-based electro-tactile biofeedback [PDF]

, 2008
Separate studies have reported that postural control during quiet standing could be (1) impaired with muscle fatigue localized at the lower back, and (2) improved through the use of plantar pressure-based electro-tactile biofeedback, under normal ...

Recent Advances in Collective Behaviors of Micro/Nanomotor Swarms

Advanced Materials, EarlyView.
This review describes the driving forces behind collective motion, explores the self‐organization of micro/nano swarms across zero‐dimensional (0D), one‐dimensional (1D), two‐dimensional (2D), and three‐dimensional (3D) spaces, and highlights their potential in drug delivery, environmental monitoring, and smart devices.

20 years of neuromuscular electrical stimulation in COPD

European Respiratory Review
Although a lung disease, COPD is also associated with extrapulmonary manifestations including, among others, limb muscle dysfunction. Limb muscle dysfunction is a key systemic consequence of COPD that impacts patients' physical activity, exercise ...

Lactate production without hypoxia in skeletal muscle during electrical cycling: Crossover study of femoral venous-arterial differences in healthy volunteers.

PLoS ONE, 2019
BACKGROUND:Aim of the study was to compare metabolic response of leg skeletal muscle during functional electrical stimulation-driven unloaded cycling (FES) to that seen during volitional supine cycling. METHODS:Fourteen healthy volunteers were exposed in

Effect of the Combination of Whole-Body Neuromuscular Electrical Stimulation and Voluntary Exercise on Metabolic Responses in Human

Frontiers in Physiology, 2019
PurposeSince neuromuscular electrical stimulation (NMES) can recruit high-threshold motor units and enhance glucose metabolism, the combination of NMES and voluntary low-intensity exercise would induce both anerobic and aerobic energy consumptions and ...

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 ...

Mechanisms for the Age-related Increase in Fatigability of the Knee Extensors in Old and Very Old Adults [PDF]

, 2018
The mechanisms for the age-related increase in fatigability during high-velocity contractions in old and very old adults ({greater than or equal to}80 yrs) are unresolved. Moreover, whether the increased fatigability with advancing age and the underlying

Metamaterial Antennas Enhance MRI of the Eye and Occipital Brain

Advanced Materials, EarlyView.
A radiofrequency antenna platform comprising planar and bend configurations is developed, incorporating structurally integrated epsilon‐negative metamaterial unit cells to enhance MRI. These antennas enable high‐resolution in vivo human MRI of the eye, orbit, and occipital brain. Comprehensive validation, including simulations, phantom experiments, SAR,
