  1. 1. Evaluation of transcutaneous electrical nerve stimulation parameters for rehabilitation of median and ulnar nerve injury

    University essay from Lunds universitet/Avdelningen för Biomedicinsk teknik

    Author : Lycke Fureby; Frida Lindén; [2022]
    Keywords : Technology and Engineering;

    Abstract : The rehabilitation techniques currently available for patients who suffer from injury to the ulnar or median nerve tends to give suboptimal results. Typically, adults who are operated due to a complete transection of the median or ulnar nerve never regain normal sensibility in the injured hand leading to severe limitations in terms of hand function.

  3. 2. Closed-Loop EEG BCI: VR and Electrical Stimulation to treat Neuropathic Pain

    University essay from Uppsala universitet/Institutionen för informationsteknologi

    Author : Shreya Kohli; [2021]
    Keywords : ;

    Abstract : Chronic pain is a life-threatening disease affecting over 20% of theU.S. adult population as of 2016. It impacts the physical as well as emotional components of a human being significantly affecting a person’s quality of life. READ MORE

  4. 3. Simulating Facilitation in a Spiking Neural Network

    University essay from Lunds universitet/Examensarbeten i molekylärbiologi

    Author : Alexander Kuzmin; [2020]
    Keywords : Biology and Life Sciences;

    Abstract : Many insects are able to detect, isolate and track small targets that move quickly against a dynamic background. This ability is enabled by a group of neurons called small target motion detectors (STMD). These neurons, among other properties, have a type of short term memory called response facilitation.

  5. 4. Can electrical pulses be adapted to create life-like perceptions?

    University essay from Lunds universitet/Avdelningen för Biomedicinsk teknik

    Author : Carolina Rudervall; [2020]
    Keywords : nerve stimulation; electrical stimulation; sensations; TENS; perceptions; Technology and Engineering;

    Abstract : The next big step to improve prosthetics and make the lives of people living with certain physical disabilities less restricted is to provide them with sensory feedback. Today most feedback systems used in prosthetics are mechanical but with the recent developments in sensors and the processing of their input electrical stimulation is becoming an increasingly promising way to convey touch, pressure and movement.

  6. 5. Evaluation of cognitive workload using EEG : Investigation of how sensory feedback improves function of osseo-neuromuscular upper limb prostheses

    University essay from Linköpings universitet/Institutionen för medicinsk teknik

    Author : Linn Berntsson; [2019]
    Keywords : EEG; ERP; spectral analysis; cognitive workload; prosthesis;

    Abstract : The e-OPRA Implant System (Integrum AB, Sweden) is a system which employs permanently accessible implantable neuromuscular electrodes in combination with osseointegrated attachment of the prosthesis to the skeleton, in order to create a more natural control of advanced robotic upper-limb prostheses. The system enables the possibility of sensory feedback, via a cuff electrode to the ulnar nerve which allows for direct neurostimulation of the nerve. READ MORE
