Feedback Inhibition00:46

Feedback Inhibition

57.3K
Biochemical reactions are occurring constantly in cells, converting starting substances to different products, usually with the help of enzymes that speed the reactions. Without enzymes, it would take far too long for most reactions to occur to be useful to the cell!

Stereotypes, Prejudice, and Discrimination

95.4K
Humans are very diverse and although we share many similarities, we also have many differences. The social groups we belong to help form our identities (Tajfel, 1974). These differences may be difficult for some people to reconcile, which may lead to prejudice toward people who are different. Prejudice is a negative attitude and feeling toward an individual based solely on one’s membership in a particular social group (Allport, 1954; Brown, 2010). Prejudice is common against people who...

Feedback Loops

In most cases, excessive hormone production is prevented by negative feedback—a loop that starts with a stimulus inducing the release of a particular substance, like a hormone, to maintain a certain level before triggering a signal that results in a decrease in further release of the hormone.

Effects of feedback01:24

Effects of feedback

1.1K
Feedback in control systems plays a critical role in shaping various operational parameters, extending beyond simple error reduction to influence stability, bandwidth, gain, impedance, and sensitivity. Understanding these effects requires examining a basic feedback system characterized by defined input, output, error, and feedback signals.
Feedback significantly modifies the gain of a control system. The gain of a system without feedback is altered by a factor of one plus GH, where G represents...

Feedback control systems

732
Feedback control systems are categorized in various ways based on their design, analysis, and signal types.
Linear feedback systems are theoretical models that simplify analysis and design. These systems operate under the principle that their output is directly proportional to their input within certain ranges. For instance, an amplifier in a control system behaves linearly as long as the input signal remains within a specific range. However, most physical systems exhibit inherent nonlinearity...

Facial Feedback Hypothesis01:24

Facial Feedback Hypothesis

Charles Darwin proposed that facial expressions are an evolutionary adaptation for communication. He argued that these expressions are not influenced by culture but are universal across species. For example, a snarling expression with exposed teeth signals a threat in many animals, including humans. Darwin also suggested that displaying an emotion can intensify the feeling. Smiling, for example, could enhance one's sense of happiness. This idea laid the foundation for understanding the role...

Area of Science:

  • Bioengineering and Neuroscience
  • Rehabilitation Engineering
  • Human-Computer Interaction

Background:

  • Restoring tactile sensation is crucial for individuals with somatosensory loss due to spinal cord injury, stroke, or amputation.
  • Current bioengineering systems often focus on tactile force, neglecting essential proprioceptive feedback for object manipulation.
  • Effective prosthetic limb control requires integrated sensory information, including touch and hand/digit configuration.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To develop and evaluate a simple system providing simultaneous tactile grip force and hand aperture information via electrotactile feedback.
  • To assess the learnability and transferability of this feedback for object discrimination tasks.
  • To determine the potential of non-invasive sensory feedback for improving prosthetic limb functionality.

Main Methods:

  • A novel system using current amplitude-modulated electrotactile feedback was created.
  • Eight healthy subjects distinguished 27 objects based solely on feedback from grip-force and hand-aperture sensors.
  • Object discrimination performance was evaluated over five training sessions, assessing learning and transfer to novel objects.

Main Results:

  • Initial object identification accuracy (28.5%) significantly exceeded chance (3.7%) on day 1.
  • Performance improved substantially with training, reaching 49.2% correct identification by day 5.
  • Learned discrimination skills demonstrated reasonable transfer to previously unencountered objects.

Conclusions:

  • Simple, non-invasive electrotactile feedback systems can convey meaningful multisensory information.
  • This approach shows promise for enhancing the control and dexterity of prosthetic limbs.
  • The findings support the integration of tactile and proprioceptive feedback in neuroprosthetic design.
