A phase sensitivity based method for prediction of modes of behavior in quadrupedal locomotion
(1996)
The objective of this study is development of prediction methods for characterizing the electrical behavior of ring type central pattern generators (CPGs). A mathematical model of the prototypical bursting neuron R15 from ...
A semi-autonomous mobile robot/teleoperator with applications as an aid for severely handicapped people
(1990)
A framework for a practical, easy-to-use system which can allow severely handicapped people to control and interact with their home and work environments is presented. Software written for a personal computer allows the ...
Mechanisms of frequency-entrainment in neuromodulated, synaptically driven pacing and bursting cells
(1995)
The development of quantitative models that describe how neural inputs control the electrophysiological behavior of two cellular oscillators is presented. These cellular oscillators are a spontaneously beating mammalian ...
Quantifying information coding limits in sensory systems
(1999)
Neurons code information about sensory stimuli temporally in the times of occurrence of action potentials as well as spatially in the joint discharge patterns of neurons within an ensemble. In this work, we present a ...
A mathematical model of the afferent stage of the mammalian baroreceptor reflex
(1994)
The purpose of this research effort is to develop a mathematical model of the afferent portion mammalian arterial baroreceptor reflex. The entire model is comprised of a small network of Hodgkin-Huxley (HH) type membrane ...
3-D segmentation and volume estimation of radiologic images by a novel, feature driven, region growing technique
(1992)
Magnetic Resonance (MR) imaging is a 3-D, multi-slice, radiological technique that acquires multiple intensities corresponding to each voxel. The transverse relaxation time, T$\sb1$, and the axial relaxation time, T$\sb2$, ...
Binaural localization using interaural cues
(1990)
Major nuclei of the superior olivary complex--the lateral superior olive (LSO) and the medial superior olive (MSO) are presumed to play a major role in the localization of sound signals using interaural level and interaural ...
Models of electrical activity, calcium concentration, and synaptic plasticity in Aplysia neurons
(1991)
Mathematical models of two Aplysia neurons simulate salient features of the electrical and chemical activity of these neurons. First, the endogenous burster R15 was modeled as a Hodgkin-Huxley (HH) type membrane equivalent ...
Mechanisms of repolarization and conduction in a mathematical model of electrophysiological responses in the human atrium
(1998)
We have developed a mathematical model of the human atrial myocyte, based on averaged voltage-clamp data recorded from isolated single myocytes. This formulation can reconstruct action potential data which are representative ...
Issues in myoelectric teleoperation of complex artificial hands
(1995)
This dissertation introduces a novel method of teleoperation of complex anthropomorphic robotic hands: converting the myoelectric signal generated by an operator's muscles during movement into robot commands replicating ...
