This study investigates how the combination of robot-mediated haptic interaction and cerebellar neuromodulation can improve task performance and promote motor skill development in healthy individuals using a robotic exoskeleton worn on the index finger. The authors propose a leader-follower type of mirror game where participants can follow a leader in a two-dimensional virtual reality environment while the exoskeleton tracks the index finger motion using an admittance filter. The game requires two primary learning phases: the initial phase focuses on mastering the pinching interface, while the second phase centers on predicting the leader's movements.

Of the many echocardiographic parameters used to evaluate diastolic pressure, the left atrial strain and strain rate (LA S/SR) have shown promise in clinical settings. However, only a few previous studies have evaluated LA S/SR in larger populations.

- Refractory metal nitrides are attractive for photonics due to their low cost, durability, and compatibility with silicon technology, outperforming traditional plasmonic materials.
- By adjusting the composition of these nitrides, researchers can effectively control both static and rapid optical responses, with specific emphasis on changes related to the epsilon-near-zero (ENZ) region.
- The study identifies three key time components in the optical response dynamics—femtosecond, picosecond, and nanosecond—while highlighting the significance of electron-phonon interactions and temperature effects on the material's optical properties.
Background: The clinical importance of supraventricular run (SVR) is uncertain in the management of patients with previous cerebrovascular events. We aim to evaluate the role of SVRs in the development of future atrial fibrillation (AF) in patients diagnosed with ischemic stroke.
Methods: We retrospectively evaluated patients who underwent 24-h Holter monitoring for the evaluation of possible AF after ischemic cerebrovascular events.
