Combined EEG-fNIRS decoding of motor attempt and imagery for brain switch control: An offline study in patients with tetraplegia

Combining electrophysiological and hemodynamic features is a novel approach for improving current performance of brain switches based on sensorimotor rhythms (SMR). This study was conducted with a dual purpose: to test the feasibility of using a …

Changes in cerebral oxygenation and blood flow during LBNP in spinal cord-injured individuals

Spinal cord-injured (SCI) individuals, having a sympathetic nervous system lesion, experience hypotension during sitting and standing. Surprisingly, they experience few syncopal events. This suggests adaptations in cerebrovascular regulation. …

Systemic circulation and cerebral oxygenation during head-up tilt in spinal cord injured individuals

Objective: To compare tilt-induced alterations in cardiovascular homeostasis and cerebral oxygenation of spinal cord-injured (SCI) to able-bodied (AB) individuals. Design: Subjects underwent 10 min supine rest followed by 10 min 70°head-up tilt. The …
