Restoration of touch after hand amputation is a desirable feature of ideal prostheses. Here,
we show that texture discrimination can be artificially provided in human subjects by …

This article introduces several fundamental concepts in information theory from the
perspective of their origins in engineering. Understanding such concepts is important in …

Stochastic resonance (SR) is said to be observed when the presence of noise in a nonlinear
system enables an output signal from the system to better represent some feature of an input …

Background Chronic pain conditions are more prevalent in women, but most preclinical
studies into mechanisms of pain generation are performed using male animals …

Issues of peripheral circulation have been increasingly suggested as an underlying cause of
musculoskeletal pain in many conditions, including sickle cell anemia and peripheral …

The sigmoidal tuning curve that maximizes the mutual information for a Poisson neuron, or
population of Poisson neurons, is obtained. The optimal tuning curve is found to have a …

Neurons use sequences of action potentials (spikes) to convey information across neuronal
networks. In neurophysiology experiments, information about external stimuli or behavioral …

In Drosophila, high-frequency electrical stimulation across the brain triggers a highly
stereotypic repertoire of spasms. These electroconvulsive seizures (ECS) manifest as …

The electric discharge activity of neurons is composed of stereotyped events called action
potentials or spikes. The exact timing of spikes under identical external conditions may vary …

The rate of change in the fluctuations in motor output differs during the performance of
fatiguing contractions that involve different types of loads. The purpose of this study was to …
