Mastering the procedure requires skills, but a comprehensive overview of the evidence on training and assessment of FOI skills is lacking. There is no evidence-based consensus on educational strategies and recommendations for skill acquisition and retention, thus highlighting a significant gap in airway management training.

Background: The association of different sensory inputs enhances brain plasticity in patients after stroke, but no studies have associated Action Observation Training (AOT) delivered in immersive virtual reality (VR) with Focal Vibration (FV) to elicit a kinesthetic illusion coherent with the observed task to improve motor function.

Objective: The study aimed to evaluate the feasibility of AOT delivered in immersive VR integrated with FV of upper limb muscles on manual dexterity in patients with chronic stroke.

Methods: A single-subject study was conducted (A-B design).

Advances in electronics and materials science have led to the development of sophisticated components for clinical and research neurotechnology systems. However, instrumentation to easily evaluate how these components function in a complete system does not yet exist. In this work, we set out to design and validate a software-defined mixed-signal routing fabric, 'xDev', that enables neurotechnology system designers to rapidly iterate, evaluate, and deploy advanced multi-component systems.
