The Sense of Self: Reflected Self-Appraisal and Social Comparison02:57

The Sense of Self: Reflected Self-Appraisal and Social Comparison

56.1K
According to Charles Cooley, we base our image on what we think other people see (Cooley 1902). We imagine how we must appear to others, then react to this speculation. We don certain clothes, prepare our hair in a particular manner, wear makeup, use cologne, and the like—all with the notion that our presentation of ourselves is going to affect how others perceive us. We expect a certain reaction, and, if lucky, we get the one we desire and feel good about it. But more than that, Cooley...

Classification of Titrimetric Analysis Based on Reaction Types

1.8K
Titrimetric analysis in solution chemistry involves measuring the volume of solutions and is often called volumetric analysis. The standard solution of known concentration in the burette is called the titrant, whereas the solution of unknown concentration in the flask is called the analyte, or titrand. Titrimetric analyses can be classified into four types based on the reactions between the titrant and analyte.
Titrations between an acid and a base lead to neutralization reactions that form...

Cardiovascular Drugs: Classification based on Therapeutic Indications

4.2K
Cardiovascular diseases, encompassing a range of conditions, can significantly affect the heart's operations and the overall circulatory system. These conditions impair the heart's ability to pump blood, leading to a deficit in oxygen supply to crucial organs. Anomalies in the heart's electrical system, known as arrhythmias, can cause heartbeats to accelerate or slow down. Usually, heart rates increase during physical activity and decrease while resting or sleeping. However,...

Muscles of the Forearm that Move the Hand and Fingers01:16

Muscles of the Forearm that Move the Hand and Fingers

2.7K
The muscles of the forearm that move the wrist, hand, and digits are numerous and diverse. They can be classified into two groups based on their location and function — the anterior and posterior compartment muscles.
Anterior Compartment
The anterior compartment muscles originate from the humerus. They primarily function as flexors and are also known as flexor muscles. They typically insert on the carpals, metacarpals, and phalanges. The superficial layer includes the flexor carpi...

Introduction to Special Senses

7.6K
Sensory receptors play an integral part in comprehending our external and internal environments. They receive diverse stimuli, converting them into the nervous system's electrochemical signals. This conversion occurs as the stimulus alters the sensory neuron's cell membrane potential, instigating the generation of an action potential. This action potential is subsequently transmitted to the central nervous system (CNS), which integrates with other sensory data or higher cognitive...

Force Classification01:22

Force Classification

2.4K
Forces play a crucial role in the study of physics and engineering. They are essential in describing the motion, behavior, and equilibrium of objects in the physical world. Forces can be classified based on their origin, type, and direction of action.
Contact and non-contact forces are two of the most widely used categories of forces. As the name suggests, contact forces require physical contact between two objects to act upon each other. Examples of contact forces include frictional,...

    Area of Science:

    • Biomechanics and Biomedical Engineering
    • Medical Imaging and Signal Processing

    Background:

    • Hand grasping and manipulation rely on complex coordination of forearm muscles and tendons.
    • Surface electromyography (sEMG) has limitations in accurately classifying finger motions due to its surface-level electrical activity measurement.
    • Accurate prediction of finger motion requires recognizing morphological changes in deep muscle compartments.

    Purpose of the Study:

    • To investigate the feasibility of using ultrasound imaging for detecting mechanical deformation of forearm muscles.
    • To compare the accuracy of ultrasound imaging with sEMG for finger motion classification.
    • To assess the potential of ultrasound in developing muscle-driven machine interfaces.

    Main Methods:

    • Simultaneous capture of 14 predefined finger motions using both sEMG and ultrasound imaging.
    • Classification of discrete finger motions and prediction of continuous finger angles.
    • Application of Linear Discriminant Analysis (LDA) for comparative accuracy assessment.

    Main Results:

    • Ultrasound imaging achieved a higher average accuracy (95.88%) for finger motion classification compared to sEMG (90.14%).
    • Ultrasound-based prediction of metacarpophalangeal (MCP) joint angles showed better results (average correlation 0.89 ± 0.07, NRMSE 0.15 ± 0.05) than sEMG (0.81 ± 0.09, NRMSE 0.19 ± 0.05).
    • Ultrasound effectively detected mechanical deformation of deep muscle compartments.

    Conclusions:

    • Ultrasound imaging is a feasible and more accurate method for muscle-driven machine interfaces.
    • This technology can significantly improve the accuracy of finger motion control for prostheses and wearable robotic devices.
    • Ultrasound provides a promising alternative to sEMG for detailed hand motion analysis.
