Lactate supply overtakes glucose when neural computational and cognitive loads scale up

Neural computational power is determined by neuroenergetics, but how and which energy substrates are allocated to various forms of memory engram is unclear. To solve this question, we asked whether neuronal fueling by glucose or lactate scales differently ...

Hand Control With Invasive Feedback Is Not Impaired by Increased Cognitive Load

Silvestro Micera, Francesco Maria Petrini, Edoardo D'Anna, Ivo Strauss, Giacomo Valle

Recent experiments have shown that neural stimulation can successfully restore sensory feedback in upper-limb amputees improving their ability to control the prosthesis. However, the potential advantages of invasive sensory feedback with respect to non-inv ...

Evolution of Cortical and White Matter Lesion Load in Early-Stage Multiple Sclerosis: Correlation With Neuroaxonal Damage and Clinical Changes

Meritxell Bach Cuadra, Cristina Granziera, Guillaume Bonnier, Mario Joao Fartaria de Oliveira, Po-Jui Lu

Introduction:Changes in cortical and white matter lesion (CL, WML) load are pivotal metrics to diagnose and monitor multiple sclerosis patients. Yet, the relationship between (i) changes in CL/WML load and disease progression and between (ii) changes in CL ...

Wearable and Self-Aware Machine Learning System for Online Cognitive Workload Monitoring and Drone Control

Fabio Isidoro Tiberio Dell'Agnola

The use of robots in search and rescue is gaining particular interest, but singular skills are required to ensure efficient deployments in real missions. To face this problem, there is a need to develop more intuitive control interfaces. Moreover, to ensur ...

Action Units and Their Cross-Correlations for Prediction of Cognitive Load during Driving

Jean-Philippe Thiran, Anil Yuce, Hua Gao, Gabriel Louis Cuendet

Driving requires the constant coordination of many body systems and full attention of the person. Cognitive distraction (subsidiary mental load) of the driver is an important factor that decreases attention and responsiveness, which may result in human err ...

Towards tailoring non-invasive brain stimulation using real-time fMRI and Bayesian optimization

Yury Koush

Non-invasive brain stimulation, such as transcranial alternating current stimulation (tACS) provides a powerful tool to directly modulate brain oscillations that mediate complex cognitive processes. While the body of evidence about the effect of tACS on be ...

Manipulating motor performance and memory through real-time fMRI neurofeedback

Frank Scharnowski

Task performance depends on ongoing brain activity which can be influenced by attention, arousal, or motivation. However, such modulating factors of cognitive efficiency are unspecific, can be difficult to control, and are not suitable to facilitate neural ...

The Cognitive Correlates of Anthropomorphism

Pierre Dillenbourg, Séverin Lemaignan, Julia Fink

While anthropomorphism in human-robot interaction is often discussed, it still appears to lack formal grounds. We recently proposed a first model of the dynamics of anthropomorphism that reflects the evolution of anthropomorphism in the human-robot interac ...

The Contact of Elastic Regular Wavy Surfaces Revisited

Jean-François Molinari, Guillaume Anciaux, Vladislav Yastrebov

We revisit the classic problem of an elastic solid with a two-dimensional wavy surface squeezed against an elastic flat half-space from infinitesimal to full contact. Through extensive numerical calculations and analytic derivations, we discover previously ...

Remote Powering and Wireless Communication of a Smart Knee Prosthesis

Oguz Atasoy

With the advance in microelectronics and microsystems, better instruments in every domain are designed and built. For many years, scientists have tried to understand nature, and engineers to mimic the perfect design. One example of this is the human knee, ...

Offline file assignments for online load balancing

Monika Henzinger, Ingmar Weber

We study a novel load balancing problem that arises in web search engines. The problem is a combination of an offline assignment problem, where files need to be (copied and) assigned to machines, and an online load balancing problem, where requests ask for ...
