Neuro-motor control and feed-forward models of locomotion in humans
Locomotion involves many different muscles and the need of controlling several degrees of freedom. Despite the Central Nervous System can finely control the contraction of individual muscles, emerging evidences indicate that strategies for the reduction of the complexity of movement and for compensating the sensorimotor delays may be adopted. Experimental evidences in animal and lately human model led to the concept of a central pattern generator (CPG) which suggests that circuitry within the distal part of CNS, i.e. spinal cord, can generate the basic locomotor patterns, even in the absence of sensory information. Different studies pointed out the role of CPG in the control of locomotion as...

Replace, Repair, Restore, Relieve – Bridging Clinical and Engineering Solutions in Neurorehabilitation
The book is the proceedings of the 2nd International Conference on NeuroRehabilitation (ICNR 2014), held 24th-26th June 2014 in Aalborg, Denmark. The conference featured the latest highlights in the emerging and interdisciplinary field of neural rehabilitation engineering and identified important healthcare challenges the scientific community will be faced with in the coming years. Edited and written by leading experts in the field, the book includes keynote papers, regular conference papers, and contributions to special and innovation sessions, covering the following main topics: neuro-rehabilitation applications and solutions for restoring impaired neurological functions; cutting-edge technologies and methods in neuro-rehabilitation; and translational challenges in neuro-rehabilitation. Thanks to its highly interdisciplinary approach, the book will not only be a highly relevant reference guide for academic researchers, engineers, neurophysiologists, neuroscientists, physicians and physiotherapists working at the forefront of their field, but will also help to act as bridge between the scientific, engineering and medical communities.
Converging Clinical and Engineering Research on Neurorehabilitation
Restoring human motor and cognitive function has been a fascinating research area during the last century. Interfacing the human nervous system with electro-mechanical rehabilitation machines is facing its crucial passage from research to clinical practice, enhancing the potentiality of therapists, clinicians and researchers to rehabilitate, diagnose and generate knowledge. The 2012 International Conference on Neurorehabilitation (ICNR2012) brings together researchers and students from the fields of Clinical Rehabilitation, Applied Neurophysiology and Biomedical Engineering, covering a wide range of research topics: · Clinical Impact of Technology · Brain-Computer Interface in Rehabilitati...

L'amore sta bene su tutto
Esiste l’abbinamento perfetto? È solo una questione di stile. A trent’anni e dopo una serie di delusioni, Aria ha detto basta: al primo posto nella sua lista di buoni propositi per l’anno nuovo c’è l’intenzione di stare alla larga dai guai (noti anche come casi umani di sesso maschile). Certo, non sarà facile per un’inguaribile romantica come lei, che crede ciecamente nell’oroscopo, nel colpo di fulmine e, soprattutto, nel lieto fine. Ma l’importante ora è concentrarsi sul suo sogno nel cassetto: diventare una fashion designer. Se vuole riuscirci, Aria dovrà trovare un modo per mantenersi a Milano, la capitale indiscussa della moda, mentre dedica ogni momento libero a cr...
La Falena
Mirco è un ragazzo che non ha fiducia in sè stesso e a ogni difficoltà affida ad altri la soluzione dei suoi problemi. Da mesi non vede la mamma a cui mente fingendosi il primo della classe. Ma a scuola i buoni voti sono un miraggio e subisce le provocazioni dei compagni. Dopo l'ennesima bugia Mirco decide di impegnarsi a cercare una soluzione ai suoi problemi ma non ha la forza di volontà per affrontare questa sfida da solo e cade vittima di una misteriosa gallina parlante. Attirato in trappola con la promessa di ottimi voti subito, si ritrova a fare da schiavo al mostruoso Padrone. Dovrà trovare dentro di sé la fiducia e la forza per affrontare le sue paure e salvarsi la vita.
