Motor Planning of Walking in Novel Environments

Description:

Before initiating a walking movement, the central nervous system forms a motor plan, a set of motor commands predicted to accomplish task-specific goals. To be effective, motor plans must be continually updated to consider an ever-changing external environment. Despite being an inherent part of walking, how the nervous system adapts...

The Voice of Experience: Causal Inference in Phonotactic Adaptation

Description:

Successfully grappling with the widespread linguistic variation of daily life requires speakers to adapt to systematic variation in the environment while discarding incidental variation, based on their prior experience. In the case of phonotactics, speakers’ prior experience is that talkers who differ in their language background are likely to vary...

An Adaptive Pattern Recognition Algorithm for a Powered Lower Limb Prosthesis

Description:

Pattern recognition algorithms have been proposed as a way to control powered lower limb prostheses, specifically for transitioning between the different pre-programmed locomotion modes of the prosthesis (e.g., level ground walking, stair ascent, etc.). However, these algorithms cannot track changes in the statistical characteristics of input signals, and do not...
