Prioritized adjustments in posture stabilization and adaptive reaching during neuromuscular fatigue of lower-limb muscles.

Neuromuscular fatigue (NMF) induces temporary reductions in muscle force production capacity, affecting various aspects of motor function. Although studies have extensively explored NMF's impact on muscle activation patterns and postural stability, its influence on motor adaptation processes remains less understood. This article investigates the effects of localized NMF on motor adaptation during upright stance, focusing on reaching tasks.

Predictive posture stabilization before contact with moving objects: equivalence of smooth pursuit tracking and peripheral vision.

Postural stabilization is essential to effectively interact with our environment. Humans preemptively adjust their posture to counteract impending disturbances, such as those encountered during interactions with moving objects, a phenomenon known as anticipatory postural adjustments (APAs). APAs are thought to be influenced by predictive models that incorporate object motion via retinal motion and extraretinal signals.

Smooth pursuit eye movements contribute to anticipatory force control during mechanical stopping of moving objects.

When stopping a closing door or catching an object, humans process the motion of inertial objects and apply reactive limb force over short period to interact with them. One way in which the visual system processes motion is through extraretinal signals associated with smooth pursuit eye movements (SPEMs). We conducted three experiments to investigate how SPEMs contribute to anticipatory and reactive hand force modulation when interacting with a virtual object moving in the horizontal plane.

A Thrifty Liquid-Phase Exfoliation (LPE) of MoSe and WSe Nanosheets as Channel Materials for FET Application.

Two-dimensional materials are trending nowadays because of their atomic thickness, layer-dependent properties, and their fascinating application in the semiconducting industry. In this work, we have synthesized MoSe and WSe nanosheets (NSs) via a liquid-phase exfoliation method and investigated these NSs as channel materials in field-effect transistors (FET). The x-ray diffraction (XRD) pattern revealed that the synthesized NSs have a 2H phase with 0.

Integration of electroencephalogram (EEG) and motion tracking sensors for objective measure of attention-deficit hyperactivity disorder (MAHD) in pre-schoolers.

We developed an integrated device composed of a single-probe Electroencephalogram (EEG) and Charge Coupled Device (CCD) based motion sensors for objective measurement of Attention-deficit Hyperactivity Disorder (ADHD). While the measurement of attention-deficit hyperactivity disorder (MAHD) relies on the EEG signal for the assessment of attention during a given structured task, the CCD sensor depicts the movement pattern of the subjects engaged in a continuous performance task. A statistical analysis of attention and movement patterns was performed, and the accuracy of completed tasks was analyzed using indigenously developed software.
